We've been talking for the past 2 weeks about how our list of must-see San Francisco landmarks is pretty lengthy and we need to get a jump on making the rounds, so.... we had an outing and checked 3 more sights off the list!
Since Shane decided to use his Saturday to wash his car (one of his favorite pastimes), we took that bad boy out on the road on Sunday to make the drive over the Golden Gate bridge. Aside from the $6.00 toll (are you kidding me?!), it was everything we wanted it to be: beautiful, awe-inspiring, and grand. Just over the bridge is a place called Vista Point with a great vantage point to view the bridge, the bay, the San Francisco skyline, Alcatraz, Oakland, Treasure Island, etc. LOVED IT.
Next, we headed to Sausalito. We were totally convinced that the GPS had us lost because we were driving through the craziest windy streets and amazing residential areas, but
fiiiiiinally we ended up on their Main Street. We walked and window shopped and got a great lunch at a restaurant called The Spinnaker, which had another fantastic view of the bay and the SF Skyline.
We were headed home and decided we hadn't had enough of the city so we made one last trek to
Lombard Street, the famous, crazy, zig-zaggy road. It was just as crazy and zig-zaggy as we'd hoped :-)
Then we finally headed home with a quick stop at the grocery store to get dinner fixins for our very first dinner party! We had our dear friends Kennedy and Dan over for spaghetti and homemade meatballs. Yum!
