Another vacation day, another day trip. This time to Mt. Tamalpais, with a quick stop in Fairfax for lunch-time energy. The highlights (besides few people and many trees): we scampered up an incredible lookout with a 270 degree view to the mountain and east bay. We then followed trails and walked around a lake noticing a large number of brown california newts. Apparently it's mating season, so they're on their way to laying eggs in the streams. We picked them up and then gently put them down to let them continue their way....pretty cool!
