In a strange turn of events, M had actually made reservations for Muir Woods, an old-growth redwood forest that was set aside for preservation in 1903.The tallest coastal redwood at Muir Woods is about 258 feet and the average age of the coastal redwoods at Muir Woods is between 600 to 800 years, with the oldest being at least 1200 years old. This is still young for redwoods as they can live up to 2200 years.The park itself was surprisingly cold and poor Mina was wrapped in a blanket sitting in her motorized chair. As such, we didn't do much hiking because we didn't want her to freeze.
So we moseyed on to Point Reyes National Seashore which is gorgeous but in the middle. of. nowhere. Bring snacks - that is one think that all of my siblings excel at actually.

I struggled to explain how I wanted us to pose for an artistic photo looking over the bluff and T kept exhorting us to get closer and closer which for some reason resulted in this giggle fest:
That evening we returned to the city for a traditional Thanksgiving dinner of Indian food. The next day was my last day in town so we spent the morning driving to scenic overlooks. From Lombard St to Twin Peaks to the Painted Ladies (ie the Full house houses).
And so ended my San Francisco interlude.
