Back in April I had a convention in San Fran so Ben and I decided to make it a great excuse to get away for a couple of days. I hadn't been to this part of California in years! We went across the Golden Gate to beautiful Sausalito to stay for a couple of nights and we weren't disappointed. Sausalito is a fun, romantic little town right on the waters edge. It was very romantic and we lucked out with beautiful sunny weather which we heard is hard to come by that time of year! Marin county is really stunning with the lush greenery, redwoods and the bay. It is also the acclaimed birthplace of mountain biking so we needed to pay our dues and go for a ride while we were there. We rented bikes and road from Saualito all the way to the top of Mount Tamalpais, around 2500 vertical feet! It may have been a bit more than we wanted to do but the views around every corner keept us going all the way to the top where we were greeted with stunning views of the ocean, bay, city, bridges, rocky outcrops, dense forests, and the beach! I pictures didn't come close to capturing the view :(
I would love to make this trip one we do every year, we didn't even touch the surface of all the great things to do. We did have a little time for the farmers market, and some shopping in the city too before it was time for the work part of the trip to start... good times!
