Sausalito, California - The Trident

On a recent visit to San Francisco my friends and I decided to get in the car and take a little road trip to neighboring Tiburon and Sausalito. We pulled over first at this promontory point along the road to take a picture of the Golden Gate Bridge (above).

Our first stop was Tiburon, which reaches out into the San Francisco Bay. We had a walk along the water and visited some of the boutiques in town.

After all of that walking around we had worked up an appetite, so we got in the car and drove to Sausalito for lunch. We landed at The Trident restaurant, which is located smack on the water in a building that was originally built in 1898 to house the San Francisco Yacht Club.

 You really can't beat the location and the extensive menu covers all tastes.

If you find yourself in the San Francisco area, I highly recommend a drive out of the city to visit these two picturesque towns.
