So Chris and I have lived here almost 3 years and have this huge mountain in our backyard. We were always saying...we should hike it but wanted to do it on a warm clear day. Well we had some days that were in the high 70's a few weekends ago and we decided to go for it. Turns out....you can drive literally to about a mile away from the summit. So it was more of a scenic drive with a small hike than a day of hiking. Here we are at the summit and you can see all of San Francisco and Marin.
You can see the city and bay bridge in the far distance.
One of the lookouts. Makes for a pretty cool Titanic scene but it was a little too high for my comfort level.
Another shot. The wind was blowing like crazy!
On the left in the far back in Mt. Diablo which is one of the highest points in Northern California. Apparently from there you can see the whole northern part of the state.
And behind me between those mountains in the valley looking think between them is the San Andreas Fault Line. Yep....Mom I was that close!
Chris posing for a shot. He's doing this long hair thing lately. His friends at school call this the "Beatles do". I like it longer and it even looks good when he spikes it up!
After our Mt. Tam hikes since we had so much extra time we drove down to Stinson. Who says you can't have the mountains AND the beach? It was really warm here. There were actually people swimming and out in bikinis. We aren't that crazy! The only downfall of the day was that we didn't bring Maximus. The signs said no dogs but everyone was out hiking with their dogs. He would have loved this!

Let me know how to get there. That looks fun! I'm sure Sam could do that baby hike.
