Limantour Beach
You never know what you're going to get at the beaches here: it can be 90 and beautiful inland, and 50 and foggy at the beaches. To make things worse, if it's fogged in you often can't tell until the last few miles of the 45-minute drive out, and then you end up freezing in 50-degree, overcast weather in clothes suitable for the sunshine you left behind.
After checking the weather report we decided to try our luck Saturday morning, and hit the jackpot: it was completely clear and sunny, and warm enough for shorts and short-sleeves. Apparently the fear of an overcast morning kept everyone else away, because we literally had the whole beach to ourselves. Some seals making their way along the coast popped their heads up to look at us, which was pretty neat.
We grabbed breakfast at Brandie's favorite bakery on our way out, and made it back home in time for a late lunch of BBQ tri-tip sandwiches and chicken from Petaluma Market. Everyone showered all the sand off, then we met Mark and Julie for dinner at Boca. It was a lot of fun, the food was great and we got to sneak in our Hog Island oysters without actually driving to the Farm or the city.
