A great trip is crossing the Golden Gate Bridge and hanging out in the historic town of Sausalito, a quaint waterfront community. Looking across the bay to San Francisco the view is really lovely. I have enjoyed this town whenever I've visited over the years.
Many of the cottage gardens along the waterfront have pink flowers such as fuschia........................
................reddish pink geraniums
.........huge pale pink hydrangeas........
....even a garden chair with deep pink 'roses' for a pillow.
Jasmin found a shop with a candy pink door.I'm back from the big trip to California and the West.....just in time to rush through a ton of photos to find something PINK to share with you today!
Thanks Beverly at How Sweet the Sound for hosting as always.
Apologies for not keeping up with comments to all my blog friends while I was on the road ~ hope to catch up soon.

I've been to SF many times but I've never made the trip to Sausalito. Maybe next time. It looks delightful.
ReplyDeleteI think you did a great job just posting, never mind trying to reach everyone. We were willing to wait. I am so happy your Jasmin got to have this time with you.

Your post today brings back lots and lots of great memories for me. When I was in college, a friend and I used to cut classes and head over to Sausalito to play. This was in the early 70's when there were hippie shops, poster shops and lots of jewelry being sold on the streets. It was so much fun, thankyou for taking me back even if it was just for a moment, Happy Pink Saturday, Char
ReplyDeleteSuch a quaint, beautiful place. I would love to visit it sometime. Have a wonderful day!
ReplyDeleteOh Mary, how beautiful is this trip. Thank you for sharing. The flowers are exquisite. Love the rose pillow. Just beautiful. Ofcourse Jasmin in the last is just precious. Can't wait to see her post also. Looks like as always the two of you were having a wonderful time. Stop by and say hi. I so love it when you do. Country Hugs, Sherry

PS. Saw a feature on a Basque Restaurant in Boise last night. Guess the French pastries are easily explained, huh?
HPS Mary! I love reading about your travels! The pink rose garden chair is my favorite of your pinks today. I do love fuschia though (expecially the purple and pink variety). Jasmine looks very sweet posing by the pink door. What fun to have a fellow pink-seeker! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteWow! Looks like a great place to visit. My husband & I live in Big Bear Lake Ca. We will have to venture up to Sausalito. Thanks for sharing and please stop by soon. Connie
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful photo log of your travels. Love the pink candy shop door - what did you buy?
ReplyDeletePlease stop by The Old Parsonage anytime, I love company!

Sausalito is cool. Lots of interesting shops too...and of course, waterfront eating in a nice restaurant with the view of The City across the bay.
ReplyDeleteHello Mary; Sounds like you had a marvelous time on the west coast... Love all the beautiful photos, love the pink door.... Happy Pink Saturday;

Oh, Mary, I just want to cry. The one and only time we were ever in NoCal, I convinced Dan to drive over to Sausalito, but that's all we did - drive. I wanted to get out of the car and experience things. Dan is like that - no matter if NoCal or The North Shore Drive from Duluth, MN. How lovely of you to be sharing these times with Jasmine.
ReplyDeleteMary, I saw with much excitement that you commented on Nina Bagley's blog. Could it be that you might really go to Tuscany for her class? I would die to do that. Oh, if you do, please give me many details.
Hugs, Julie
Happy Pink Saturday, Mary! Your photos of your visit here to San Francisco are fabulous! Thanks for sharing your fun holiday!

ReplyDeleteI worked in Sausalito for a few years and lived in Corte Madera close by - LOVED it! But WAAAAY too expensive for full time living :-)
ReplyDeleteI had never seen a beautiful place like this yet in my entire life. Thanks for the post. I hope I can visit there soon. LOL!!!
