So we decided to take a long drive (yes in this economy as well, its been a while I went for one) to Marine County (north of SFO), where the fireworks are supposed to be good. It looks like GPS does not always help and with this stupid piece of electronics we did get lost. Being hungry and away from anything close to proper civilization it was scary thought that we were away from SFO at least hour and half and the route was not very pleasant to drive after dark (mountains and lonely routes are not the best bets for safer driving). So anyways, we found this nice Italian restaurant in the middle of nowhere, called Olema Farmhouse and Deli. I know it sounds weird for an Italian restaurant but trust me they claim to use the finest quality ingredients to make pasta sauces; they buy tomatoes for Marinara; fresh basil, garlic and extra virgin olive oil for the freshly made Pesto sauce and this is evident in the taste of dishes as well as the prices they charge for each of them :)
Anyways, the lady at the deli told us that we got the wrong location for the fireworks and need to drive half hour to get to the Marine County fairgrounds. So after dinner we barely had enough time and I was definitely very full and sleepy after the nice pasta. But anyways, we had to go see fireworks after so much driving, so we started. By the time we reached and tried to find a good parking spot fireworks already started. We decided to do a smart thing and took the car to a nearby McDonalds parking lot and watched the fireworks from there. It was not that bad afterall.
Here is the total route we took that day, which was really beautiful to drive on:
And here are some pictures from that scenic route:
