Day 3 was the fullest; we spent the morning seeing the sights around Sunset Beach. Right next to Sunset Beach is Shore Acres & Cape Arago State Parks. Cape Arago is a beautiful lookout (with lighthouse) and is a resting point for thousands of sea lions. Shore Acres is a beautiful garden area overlooking the ocean that a pioneer shipping and lumber man built in the early 1900s. He had a huge estate there and created the gardens around it, but his home was destroyed by fire. We spent about an hour walking around the gardens at about 8:00 a.m., so it was quiet, peaceful (we were the only ones there that early), and the morning dew was still on the flowers. (Again, sorry the pictures are out of order.)

My favorite shot of the rose garden that I took. The tiny dew droplets that were on everything were so beautiful to me.
