We decided to check out the area across the Golden Gate Bridge. Initial reports were that a lot of the area was closed to dogs off-leash, but we decided to head over and see what we could find.
We stopped in Mill Valley to assuage latte and espresso withdrawals (we've been on The French Press) and armed ourselves with a picnic and the knowledge that Muir Beach allows dogs to run free. This had the added benefit of being right off Highway 1, so our drive was a scenic one.

Being just a hop-skip-and a jump from Point Reyes (where 2 great cheesemakers are) we decided to continue on 1 up the shore. This led us through lots of fun little farm towns on the way to Cowgirl Creamery.

Tomales Bay is also home to some awesome oyster farms. We were headed to Hog Island Oyster Co., but they close @ 5. We came upon Tomales Bay Oysters where we picked up some to bring home.
