Sausalito and the Street Cars

Sorry I am a day late. It was a long day yesterday and I was sick all last night!

We caught the ferry over to Sausalito yesterday morning and enjoyed the little unique town for a couple of hours. We enjoyed lunch at Horizons on the Bay. We both had crabcakes that were out of this world! Then naturally we had to stop at a chocolate shop and eat a huge piece of chocolate cake...yummy!

After that we decided to make the 2 mile walk to Fishermans Wharf where we caught the streetcar to Union Square. This is a must do before you leave San Fran and we did it. Zach was not thrilled about the hour wait but oh well. The funny thing is when we got on the car, I was totally prepared to stand on the inside of the car. The driver had different plans. He kept making me go outside and stand on the outside holding on. This is cool and all but I really didn't care. So needless to say he won. When I jumped on in the two open spots this girl got a major attitude. I almost had to throw down. She sat there and over heard the whole conversation with the attendant and how he was insisting on me standing on the outside. If I heard it once I heard it 20 times, "THIS IS MY WHOLE FAMILY WE WANT TO BE TOGETHER". (she apparently thought that the 6 of them could take up 12 peoples spots.) So in a very SOUTHERN,demanding tone, after explaining it to her 3 times, I said "MAAM, I CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. HE IS MAKING ME STAND HERE. I WOULD RATHER NOT STAND IN YOUR WAY BUT YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE TO GET OVER IT." I kid you not, she pouted for a minute and said, this is my whole family. we want to be together. I replied, "GET OVER IT. ITS NOT HAPPENING." Her mother then replied, Kate, I ride this all the time it is okay. She stupid girls mom was from San Fran and she was still throwing a fit....ugh. I was highly irritated and Zach was slightly embarassed.
We jumped off the car and three obnoxious drunks jumped on in our spots. I bet she was begging for me to come back!

We ended the night with a quick trip to The Cheesecake Factory. It was tasty but I was sick so I barely ate. Dont worry all you CF fans, I got cheese cake to go. I dominated it a couple of hours later.
