Sunday Funday

Levi and I spent the day today in the bay area.  It started with a great obedience lesson and ended with a nice 3 hour hike.

Levi and I started taking obedience lessons with a great trainer in the bay area a few months ago.  Its about a 2 hour drive from Davis though so we only get to go about every 3-4 weeks.  I've been meaning to make a day of it and take Levi for a hike after our lesson because there are so many great hiking locations in the bay area (compared with the very flat Davis).

My roommate is a San Francisco native and recommended a hike that was really close to where my obedience lesson was, at the Windy Hill Open Space Preserve.  She warned me that it was a little bit steep but I figured we were up for the challenge.  It was definitely a work-out but it was doable especially with the nice weather (sunny but not hot).  We made it to the top (with a few water and rest breaks of course) and there was a pretty nice view of the surrounding area and the San Francisco Bay.  Everything is so green and beautiful right now.

Levi was deciding which path to take at a Y in the trail.

Levi blinked

One of the things that I thought though as I looked out at the beautiful scenery was how much clearer the sky/air is on the Central Coast.  I guess there are pro's and con's to every location.  I must say that I really love living in the middle of everything right now.  To be so close to the snow/Lake Tahoe and also to the beach and hiking in the bay area is unbelievable.  Levi and I are very lucky!
