I had President’s Day off so Kevin and I decided to get out of the city, take advantage of the sunshine and take a day trip to the Marin Headlands<\/a>. After checking out some of the views over the cliffs, we got hungry and had a nice little picnic in the car.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Then we headed over to Battery Wallace (a battery is a place in which a group of guns\/missile launchers are operated together in one place, there were quite a few out that way).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Kevin put the biggest smile on my face when he willingly took this photo that I begged him to pose for: him pretending to shoot a machine gun in the middle of the battery \ud83d\ude42<\/span>

<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The fog kept rolling in and out, and at this point it was pretty foggy so I thought it’d be cool to take a photo like this (if you click it you can enlarge the photo to see it more clearly).<\/span>
<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>I was trying to get all artistic and have Kevin take this photo of me in a small corner filled with graffiti.<\/span>
<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Kevin peeking out of some lookout, pretending he was spying on the enemy I’m sure \ud83d\ude09<\/span>
<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>There were a ton of huge metal doors that had been sealed shut but I thought this one looked pretty cool.<\/span>
<\/span><\/div>\n

After checking out the old abandoned military bases, we went to make a visit to the Marine Mammal Center<\/a> which is free and open to the public every day of the year except for a few major holidays. We got lucky because President’s Day wasn’t seen as major enough for them to be closed!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The time we went to visit most of the sea lions were enjoying their naps in the sun.<\/span>
<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>“Big Daddy” wanted to say hello to our blog followers!<\/span>
<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>I couldn’t resist! What a cute little pup.<\/span>
<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>In the tunnel as we exited the Marin Headlands
<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>It was really great getting away for the day, just the two of us. It was a great place to explore and we’ll definitely be back again (possibly to camp overnight…who’s coming with us? \ud83d\ude42 )
