Posted February 20, 20187 yr After a few days in San Francisco, we ventured across the Golden Gate bridge to check out some of the other communities of the Bay Area. First up was Marin County before heading up to Petaluma and Napa, before finishing up in the East Bay. Onto the photos! 1. IMG_2557 by Ethan Kocjan, on Flickr 2.
