Flashback - Pt. Reyes Lighthouse

On one of the first days we were here, we decided to leave the boxes behind and go see the ocean. In my memory, one of the most remarkable places to see the ocean was Pt. Reyes National Seashore. The lighthouse is the farthest point I'd been out. It seemed like a good place to start.
