Kayak Made for Two

Over the bridge and through the woods, to kayaking we go.

Last weekend Nick talked me into kayaking in Sausalito.  

My reaction: "Aren't there sharks in Sausalito?" 

Much to my dismay, I went along for the ride and tried to channel my inner coxswain.  What could have been a disaster, turned out to be a great Saturdate activity.  Nick and I quickly found our rhythm and enjoyed an hour rowing around the bay.        

Nick: "I told you this would be fun!" 

I think my husband was relieved because: 

A. We didn't see any sharks.

B. He wasn't stuck rowing the kayak by himself.

C. The weather was sunny and the water was calm.

D. All of the Above

Saturdate in the City

What happens when you have to plan a date encompassing the words: batter, north, red and new adventure? 

First  you go to Stable Cafe and eat scones made by Batter Bakery.  Second you drive north to that big RED landmark.  Third instead of driving over it, your adventure is to walk it!  Although walking the Golden Gate bridge is a tourist thing to do, as a Bay Area resident everyone should try this once. Views are breathtaking and even though we started the walk in fog, before we knew it the sun was out and it felt like summer (for like a minute).  Here is our Saturdate in pictures.

I think this is postcard worthy...
