Our first stop was the Farmer’s Market at the Ferry Plaza. Wow – we were not prepared for the sheer magnitude of vendors there. If there is a fruit, vegetable, protein or any other item you want and/or need and can’t find it there, I would say it doesn’t exist!! It was so amazing and the energy there was so wonderful I wish we could go every weekend!
While there I waited in line for 20 minutes (yes, that is right, no typo there!) for coffee from Blue Bottle Coffee Co. It was delicious and worth the wait and all part of the experience of the weekend! I can salivate still just thinking about it!
Before we left the mecca called the Farmer's Market, we ate at Gott's Roadside where you can get an amazing hamburger (or chicken tenders for my kids!) and I do mean AMAZING!!
After we were stuffed, we drove then waddled the rest of the way to the marina (my favorite part of the whole city) and Baker Beach. I find this to be one of the most amazing beaches I have ever been to because when you are there, the Golden Gate Bridge is in the background - so cool! The girls had a ball playing in the sand and the waves.
My favorite picture from the trip, I love to see my girls together. If I could have captions above this it would be Grace saying "Stick by my side Emma, and we can conquer anything together!"
After a fun night at the hotel complete with swimming, we headed out the next morning to walk across the Golden Gate Bridge. Since I had nightmares all night about the kids on the bridge, they were NOT allowed out of the stroller, I was terrified of Emma taking a header off of it, I appreciate how curious she is, just not that high up in the air!
Anyways, the bridge is amazing and such a beautiful landmark in our great country. We had a fun time, the weather cooperated (no small accomplishment in San Fran in the morning!) and everyone stayed seated in the stroller!
After the bridge we headed out of the city and into Sausalito. I have always wanted to visit and see what it was all about. It is a beautiful little seaside town with great views of the city and a beautiful marina area. There were lots of cute little shops and restaurants that we hope to go back and explore some day with no kids!!
All in all a great weekend spent in one of our favorite cities and we were sad to have to leave, but we will be back soon - we can't stay away for long!
By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible.
