The first thing we did when we left the hotel was to drive over the Bay Bridge, which we found out has a $4.00 toll. We held off on leaving until about 9:30 so that we could miss some of the morning traffic.
The Golden Gate Bridge was very cool. The traffic on this bridge was significantly less. The bridge was a little redder than I had anticipated, and it seemed a lot longer than I had thought it would be.
After we got out of the Bay Area, we took a detour to the beach near Bodega Bay at Doran Park State Beach. It was really cool to walk along the sand next to the Pacific Ocean. It was actually really chilly when we got out of the car, but it was significantly warmer once we got onto the sand near the water. We picked up a few shells and enjoyed the views before heading on.
Finally, we started to see some Redwoods on the side of the road as we were driving along. These were the Coastal Redwood species and they were much more slender, but much taller on average than the Sequoias that we had seen.
