Traveling with Kids in California // Muir Beach
There's something magical about the beach in the summer when it's foggy. It's warm, but the light is soft and it's perfect for hours of playing, without having to worry about getting a sunburn :) Juniper ran all the way to the sand, excited to use her new electric green bucket and shovel. On the beach more fun awaited -- a gorgeous horse, pelican feathers to collect and an intricate mandala, left by past beachcombers, waiting for us to add our own treasures. And there was hardly anyone else there... our own private paradise.

Traveling with Kids in California // The Inkwells in West Marin
Last summer, we first discovered The Inkwells. It's a magical spot. Along Sir Frances Drake Blvd., on your way to Pt. Reyes or Samuel P. Taylor, there's an unremarkable bridge; however, underneath lies the most luxurious collection of stone basin swimming holes, one after the other. Here, dare-devils and cliff divers abound. At the bottom of the cascade of pools, is a perfect mini beach, where we like to camp out with our little babes, so they can squish their toes into gravel beach and practice skipping rocks. Time stops in this place (don't bother bringing a watch) and even if you arrived in the morning, you'll find yourself leaving only because you've run out of food and actually, now it's time for dinner. Not to be missed. The Inkwells are enchanting.

Traveling with Kids in California // Cavallo Point in Sausalito
Every night, after the babes are slumbering, we discuss whether we have time to watch a program together or read a book. This segues into a meandering and whispered conversation as we lie in bed, recounting our day and then inevitably expressing gratitude for each other, our littles, and the gorgeous place where we live. Then one of us asks, "what time is it anyway... is it midnight already? Shall we tuck in?" We slip into sleep, soaked with gratitude.
This post is a small ode to the place we call home. Our closeness to both nature and the city, and our loving neighborhood community, have provided the fertile ground for our roots to extend deeply. Cavallo Point is just seven minutes from our house, with views of the Golden Gate Bridge, and a chance to splash in the briny (as Juni would say). There's a long fishing pier, which is a great spot to bring kiddos, to watch the crabs being reeled in and count the seal heads bobbing on the ocean surface. There's often a nice layer of cool fog, especially in the summer, lending a romantic and eerie sensibility, and a perfect escape from the Marin heat. We hope you go check it out :)
