This made us all very happy.<br \/>\nThe walk from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cityofsanmateo.org\/exploreourparks\/parks\/sealpoint\/sealpoint.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Seal Point Park<\/a> to <a href=\"http:\/\/parks.smcgov.org\/coyote-point-recreation-area\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Coyote Park Recreation Area<\/a> is easy and curves around an estuary, making for some cool changes of scenery. As we walked, we could watch planes flying in the blue skies and above and beyond that, the clouds were absolutely gorgeous.<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s a view that we never see from our car on the 101 freeway, nor the other ways we usually travel around the Bay&#8211;either on the bridges (more cars) or BART, which goes under the Bay, or as far at the SFO airport, but not really beside the Bay.<br \/>\nEven more strange and delightful is the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.roadsideamerica.com\/story\/35872\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Wind Art Walk<\/a>, which includes several whimsical sculptures that channel the energy of the wind. We could feel the wind of course&#8211;and now we could see it and hear it too.<br \/>\nWe watched the planes landing at SFO, kitesurfers on the Bay, and Lola even got to go the the biggest dog park I&#8217;ve ever seen, the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.yelp.com\/biz\/seal-point-dog-park-san-mateo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Seal Point Dog Park<\/a>.
