San Francisco (part three)

Saturday morning we headed downtown to the Ferry Building where they have a weekly Farmer's Market.
 The flowers were absolutely gorgeous!



 We purchased our ferry tickets and loaded up for a quick trip across the Bay to Sausalito.
 Leaving the Bay:
 We saw lots of sailboats:
 View of the city:
 We spent most of the morning and early afternoon here:
 Where we sat right on the edge of the water on this amazing deck:
 Enjoying the beautiful day, some refreshing drinks, and scrumptious food:
 Savory donuts with herbs paired with yellow beets and goat cheese!
 Such a relaxing time!
 We enjoyed watching all of the action from America's Cup from our little perch:
 On the way back to San Francisco, we took a close look at Alcatraz:
 Back at the Ferry Building, we walked around browsing in the little shops:
 We jumped on a cable car home:
 I am so sad that I did not take pictures of our super fun evening out on the town. I didn't have my camera with me and I think I was just too busy taking it all in to think about pictures! :)

We came up with a great way to try different restaurants in a new city. It's called First Dinner and Second Dinner. We went to Flour and Water as our first pick for dinner but the wait was over 2 hours. We decided to go ahead and put our names in and walk around a bit. They were going to text us when the table was ready. As we walked around, we came across another fun place called Central Kitchen where they worked some magic and were able to seat us immediately with the stipulation that we would be finished in an hour and a half to accommodate another party. That fit perfectly with out plan! We are first dinner at Central Kitchen and by the time we finished, Flour and Water was ready for us! You should check out these places!!
