Sibley's gorgeous right now (well, as soon as the rain lets up). Up Snake, left on Skyline about a mile. Bring the dog and follow other hikers. On a foggy day, it's just like Lord of the Rings.
The Oakland Rose Garden. Bring the computer and the kids to get work done while they nose around or look for frogs. Grand to Jean St. Then stop in at Ace Garden and ask Kevin Numoto (my landscape stager) or Wyatt Alt (my son) for help.
The Point Reyes Peninsula. Stop by the Inverness house on your way out for a nice hike and great views of the Pacific Ocean. We're there most weekends---

Soon, Take a Stroll through the Oakland Rose Garden!
On Jean Street, right behind Ace Garden on Grand Avenue, is a hidden gem. And the roses are still blooming, though take this opportunity to note ''see Rose Garden'' next year the week after Mother's Day, when it's at its prime.
I enjoyed the garden by myself last Sunday, morning cup of tea in hand, though it's a great place to get work done while younger kids romp around or look for tadpoles in the shallow lilypad pond. Very stroller-friendly. I even caught up with a family friend there one evening years ago, with gin and tonics at hand in a Thermos!
