My boyfriend and I came into town for my family reunion at Fort Smallwood Park. This was the most beautiful relaxing place. Place the beautiful sunrise in the east over the Bay was absolutely breathtaking and a great way to start our day. I will definitely be returning each year as my family has gatherings in Pasadena.
