Guess what? I am home. I am home in the California Bay Area for an undetermined amount of time. The next few months are a bit cloudy and uncertain for me. What I do know is that my adventures will not end. Also, for the first time in years my running buddy, Gracie, and I are settled in the Bay Area at the same time! We decided there was no better way to catch up than a 9-mile hike along the California coast.

We went to Point Reyes National Seashore and followed the Coast Trail to Alamere Falls. The dirt path led us through tall trees, thick shrubs, across creeks, along two lakes, and offered beautiful coastline views. 

The waterfalls were gorgeous, but the best part of the day was chatting away with a close friend. As we left and drove away, twisting and turning our way back towards the city, Gracie and I excitedly planned our future weekend getaways and hiking adventures. 

A day spent outdoors is a day well spent, and a day spent outdoors with your best friend is everything you could ask for. Happy to be home with you Gracie! Can't wait for the next adventure :)
