On the Dock of the Bay: Sausalito

I haven't told you about my trip to Sausalito earlier in the month. We were actually in San Francisco for the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival in Golden Gate Park. I'm not quite ready to talk about all the shenanigans surrounding the concert. Quite honestly, I'm trying to block it all out, so that story will just have to wait. On our way home, though, we drove through Sausalito and had breakfast.

I've decided if I strike it rich I will be moving to Sausalito. That is, I will be buying a Monet and then moving to Sausalito. I don't even know if I can articulate why I love Sausalito so much, especially after only having driven through it and eating breakfast. I can say this: Sausalito is ridiculously beautiful. Sitting on the bay, the city offers views of the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge, city of San Francisco, and Golden Gate Bridge. Every day I'd be staring at scenery people come from all across the world to see. And it has such a quaint, small town feel.

And it has this cool breakfast place.

Where we sat at the counter and watched the cook kick-ass at breakfast making. I literally wanted to go behind the counter and hug him. 

Partly because he made me this banana pancake (and eggs, and bacon, and potatoes... oh and wheat toast, but who cares about toast when you have banana pancakes), but mostly because I wanted him to know he was appreciated. I am so, so weird. 

I'm going to have to go back to Sausalito to take some photos and really do it justice. For now, just know that it's got scenery, breakfast eateries, and a library.  That's right, I saw a sign for The Sausalito Public Library. You hear that, Job Creators? Create me a job there, please.
