I was thinking yesterday about a trip Laura and I took to Sausalito in June of 2007 that was a spur of the moment “girls trip”. It was so close to the adoption trip and all the other craziness of preparing to go to China that I never had the chance to blog about it. My sister Michelle came across the bay from San Francisco to join us and we had a blast. We stayed at the “Inn Above Tide” and had a great view overlooking the bay. (thanks for the recommendation Gina!)
Here was my absolute favorite thing about the hotel room. The bathtub overlooking the bay. I had a very nice bubble bath in the dark one night. It was so cool!
We ate great food and took the ferry over to Pier 39. I wanted to see the Sea Lions, but they were not out if full force. Kind of a disappointment, right?
I loved this sign.
And when we rode the Carousel which was fun – Nadia would have loved it 🙂
We went to Michelle’s apartment in little Chinatown. (who knew the smell of those shops was preparation for the China trip?)
We took a ride on a boat all around the bay. We got these giant strawberries and chocolate to dip them in. Laura and Michelle thought the funniest thing on the trip was the chocolate getting stuck in my hair and flying all over my face, but I kept eating and then cleaned up. Why fight the wind and the waves when you are enjoying good chocolate?
All in all we had a blast – eating and laughing and having a great time. We sat out on the deck day and night.
