First anniversary Celebration Continued

We milked our first anniversary for all it's worth! Since we couldn't go out of the town the weekend of our actual anniversary, we went the next weekend to Sausalito for an overnight and relaxing day. For those of you not from the Bay Area, Sausalito is a sleepy seaside town right across the Golden Gate Bridge from San Francisco. It's main street is right along the water with a great view of the city and Alcatraz. That is, if the sun is out. It was 80 degrees when we left Hayward (wearing flip flops and shorts) and this is what the bridge looked like when we got into San Francisco.



We thought we were in a time warp and were suddenly in November. You couldn't even see the tops of the towers! Danny was worried it would ruin the weekend, but the weather was actually really fun to watch. This is the view from our hotel room. We had a corner room with a great balcony. Beautiful views of the Sausalito shore but San Francisco was veiled almost the whole weekend.




Eventually the fog lifted and all of a sudden we could see The Rock right out our window! It was foggy but still cool.


The next day we read magazines in bed until about noon when we had to check out, and as we started cruising around town the sun came out and the weather was perfect. We walked from one end of town to the other, ate fish and chips in a window seat with a great view of The Rock and The City, and did a lot of window shopping. I can't believe I'm posting this picture, but Danny thought this store name was so funny he made me pose with it.



After walking around and seeing all there is to see we randomly decided to go see a movie. We bought a paper and found out that Live Free or Die Hard was playing in a town we knew was about 15 minutes north of Sausalito. The movie started in 20 minutes. We just hopped in the car for a little adventure, crossing our fingers that we would be able to see the theater (or at least the street it was on) from the freeway. It was a long shot. But, it worked! We found the theater and rolled in right as the previews started. The movie was a lot of fun and it was a great relaxing day!

For dinner Danny surprised me with reservations at The Melting Pot. It's this amazing fondue restaurant that I've wanted to try ever since I had dessert at one in Dallas with my posse years ago. It did not disappoint my high expectations! The food was incredible (and fun to cook!) and we had a private booth in "Lover's Lane" which we thought would have made us very nervous if we weren't married. They even gave us a centerpiece of red roses and let us take the flowers and vase home as a gift. It was a five star meal all the way around! See our dessert below - they call it Yin and Yang because it's dark and white chocolate together. It was almost too pretty to wreck by dipping stuff in it, but that didn't stop me. Fabulous!
