Day 278 - Pt Reyes

We started off this morning about 9:30, (after I pulled the preteen out of bed) and headed to Muir Woods.  We didn't see that many cars on the road, and I thought we would be back for some fun in the City, but there was absolutely no parking in the Park, so we headed on.  As we took those windy roads, I hear in the back  - I think I am going to be sick.   Thinking only of my fairly new car and how the stink of vomit will never  come out of it I started nagging TH to pull over.  Then she said that she didn't think she was going to but she might feel better if she did.  Again thinking of my car I said we would pull over and she could stick her finger down her throat, just as long as it wasn't in my car.  She turned me down and curled up in a tiny tiny ball and groaned.

I decided that we were going to the Bovine bakery, but I thought it was in Bolinas, so off we went to Bolinas.  However; for all of you who know about the Bovine bakery you know it isn't in Bolinas it is in Pt Reyes Station, which I found out as soon as my phone got some bars on it (I do love my Iphone.)

We ended up in Bolinas then in Pt Reyes Station which looked like biker (bicycle) central.  I think it was the Leukemia ride, but maybe it was a training ride, oh yea and there was a big arts festival going on as well.  So again parking wasn't readily available, but TH was on a mission and we ended up parking in someone elses lot.   We got all sorts of goodies and of course we got the little one Tums.

I decided that since we were out here we should go to Pt. Reyes Lighthouse, which actually got a rise from Little T.  She wanted to go!!! Yea me.

The last time I went to Pt. Reyes Lighthouse was with T2 and Big D.  I remember thinking as Big D walked down those many many steps, if she can do it I can too.

Fast forward 15 years later, I have been working out I thought it should be a piece of cake.  If Big D could do it at 65 or 70 I can do it easy.  Plus T2 and her amazing group just climbed Pikes Peak soo this I could do.

As I started down this guy coming up says are you sure you want to do this?  I look at him, smile broadly, and say of course.  Your smarter staying up then going down he said, but I ignored his warning a merrily made my way to the the Lighthouse.

Well I am not in as good of shape as I thought I was, I had to stop twice coming up and I didn't stop sweating until we were 40 miles away with the air conditioner blasting in my face.   As we said goodbye, I started thinking maybe I should come out here once a week and go up and down those steps a few dozen times, how long do you think it will take before it will become easy?
