Once we made our way hiking through all of the park, we made our way to their gift shop. It is a total tourist trap, but has the coolest stuff-boxes made out of redwood trees, scented redwood bookmarks, life-size bears made out of trees; you get the idea. We all scattered and bought our gifts and then reconvened to get out of there before we spent all of our money. We all made our way over to our cars to get a snack and then eventually lunch.
This lunch is one of the things I was most excited for. We were going to have lunch at a Puerto Rican place in downtown San Rafael called Sol Food. From their amazingly designed interior and their communal seating, to their incredible food, this place is simply the best. This is one of top three places I've ever eaten at, it's that good. We had some free time, so we went over to Stinson Beach and parked ourselves at the beach then made our way over to Parkside Cafe to hang out for a while. We hung out for a while, got some snacks, and made our way over to the windy beach. We then got a call from Aunt Lou to head over to San Rafael for lunch.
