Muir Woods and other adventures

Saturday we decided to head up to Muir Woods, about 11 miles north of San Francisco, to experience the Redwoods! We first headed to Costco to get gas and some diaper wipes. What we thought would be a quick trip ended up in us walking around the entire store trying to find the diaper wipes and consequently forced to try ALL the samples :0). It turns out they moved the wipes to the front of the store right close by the entrance...

Muir Woods was very crowded that day, but we still had an enjoyable time. The weather was perfect and the redwoods were absolutely beautiful!






On our way back we stopped at a scenic view of Sausalito (I think...). As we drove around this beautiful area, it was no wonder to us why it is so expensive to live around here.

We also stopped at a scenic view of Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz, and San Francisco. It was completely foggy on our way there, so we were pleased that the fog had cleared up on our way back.

Here is just a really cute picture of Calvin!

On Friday night, I made Spinach-Stuffed Salmon. They weren't too difficult to make and ended up being really tasty and filling! If you do try it, cook the spinach a little first and it takes longer to cook the stuffed salmon than what the recipe says.
