Our first stop was Benicia Bridge Vista Point in Benicia, CA. This vista point was very hard to find! We actually accidentally entered the port where they are driving imported vehicles off the cargo ships! 😂 We backed out and ended up finding the vista point. The view of the Benicia-Martinez Bridge is beautiful!
