THROWBACK THURSDAY (VIDEO EDITION): FORT FUNSTON FUN

Last May I had a couple things to do in San Francisco and usually when we go to the city, I take the dogs to Chrissy Field to play at the beach, but I wanted to try somewhere new. I read online that Fort Funston was a great off-leash dog beach so we had to check it out!


Yes, it was so beautiful. We were blown away...literally. It was so windy that I had to wear my sunglasses to protect my eyes and pull my hood tight around my face to keep the sand from hurting it. Even the dogs kept turning their backs to the sand-filled gusts. We found some trails that were a bit protected by the hills but we couldn't even make it down to beach level:(


Though there was one really great thing about it. Norman found a stray flip flop and he thought it was pretty much the best thing ever!






By then we had had enough. Next time we'll head back to Chrissy Field. Because it faces to bay and not the ocean, wind is not a real threat over there. We like sand but not in our eyeballs!

  1. That scenery is just breathtaking, I need to scope out some fun places to visit around here. I love the one picture with Norman's ears flying out! What a hoot!

  3. Whoa. What a gorgeous place! It looks like you had it all to yourself too. I remember gorgeous days like that on the California coast but its been way too long. Lamar loves to chase seagulls--I'll have to bring him back sometime.

    1. No one was dumb enough to walk out there in the sandstorm! The dogs found some buddies on the other side of a hill though:)
