We were up and excited for day 3 of our ♥honeymoon re-do♥! We started in Sausalito, went to The Painted Ladies, and lived a DREAM from childhood!! 🙂 Check it out, you know you want to! I’ve been dreaming about this day forever!!!
Sausalito
Many of you from the blog word suggested that we go to Sausalito! ….I am so glad that you all suggested that we drop in there! WE LOVED IT IN SAUSALITO!
It was inbetween San Francisco and Santa Rosa so we stopped by on our way to SF, and *WOW* am I glad that we stopped in.
All of you said that we would get views of the bay that we couldn’t get anywhere else, I do agree. The view of the SF bay was great! The fog was just sitting on the city at 11:00 am. Beautiful!
It has the best view of the bay and the city…. and so.many.beautiful.boats! It is a place where you can just walk around and experience the atmosphere-– what the husband and I LOVE! It was great to see the city in the distance and take some really great pictures of the bay!
This place just kept getting better and better! On to the food, could be my favorite part of the day! *Which is REALLY saying something, this day was amazing!*
This was a vegetable frittata *ROCKED MY WORLD! I only wish I was kidding… This little bakery was everything that I missed about living in New York! I miss walking into an eatery and the chef or cook greeting me and asking what I would food they have perpared that I would love to enjoy. The man that cooked the food at the Sausalito Bakery & Cafe was an outstanding cook!
Here I am simply LOVING my food! The husband was amused that I was simply in heaven when I walked in. It was all so good and the cook wasn’t going to let me walk out of his bakery/cafe until he was SURE that I was in love with his food.... I left in love. No question about it! 🙂
After our delightful meal, we walked around town for awhile but I promptly had to tell the husband ‘Don’t let me walk into another shop or we’ll never make it to the San Francisco!’ ….I heard a lot of ‘Julie….’ proceeded by ‘the look’. Not that he wasn’t enjoying himself we just really had stuff we wanted to do in SF!
…..So, on we went to SF…
Alamo Square!
Yes everyone, this is where the Tanners picnicked in the opening of Full House! I grew up watching this show with my sister and felt like I grew up with the Tanners. The Painted Ladies are beautiful and ALL of Alamo Square was pretty!
The husband has a question: Do people live in them? Who? …Because, the city won’t let just anyone move in, right?
See, the Tanners were here!
The husband was pretty sweet and took my picture pretending to picnic in the park where the Tanners must have been….
As we walked back to the car we came across this…
1709 Broderick Street…
Where dreams come true…
You got it dude! ….it’s the FULL HOUSE HOUSE!!
I.was.pumped! to see this place in real life!!!! You can really tell that it is the house from the credits when you are there, the trees are the same, the house is the same, and only the door color has changed to keep away the crazies…. sorry home owners, it didn’t work…
I totally would have went on the steps for a better picture but they have one of those home security signs, I don’t think they wanted me on their doorstep. HOW RUDE! —Totally kidding! If it were my home I would do the exact same thing!
So, this day keeps on going and going and going... and again, I need to find a quicker way to download photos, I have a macbook air. It takes forever for some reason….. Going to split it up into 2 posts again. I’ll be back on Monday after school to let you know how the rest of day 3 went, ps- it was quacktastic! HA, get those weels turning….
Again it sounds like another wonderful day!! That’s so awesome that you got to visit the Full House house!!!!!! I loved that show 🙂 Can’t wait to hear about the rest of the day!
Have a good day at school on Monday 🙂
Thanks! It sure was a busy day at school, just inservice…. Sounds like you had a busy day too! Everyone is back for the year and campus is picking up!!
WHAT! I can’t believe that you actually found the Full House house!
I always did have a crush on Uncle Jessie 😉
Oooo- yep. I do think I may still have a crush on Uncle Jesse! 😉
So ummm…I used to look JUST like Mary-Kate and Ashley when they were young and my Mom and I lived in San Diego. She would ALWAYS be stopped by people asking if I was “Michelle” LOL I wish I had a picture on my laptop I could show you! 🙂 I used to watch Full House all the time!!
NO WAY!!! –That is crazy!!! You totally have to show me a picture! That is awesome but I’m sure would have been a pain in the rear! … I just can’t get over that…. AND, you may be back in the states now!YAY! 🙂
That frittata looks so so good!
How cool you got to visit there! I would have been doing the tourist thing too, I love Full House!
Oh Tessa, it was heavenly! I wish I could have shared it with someone though because it was pretty big & it didn’t save well in the car :S
Um….major Full House fan. Major.
Major.
Ha ha! And, I totally caught the Stephanie Tanner “how rude!” reference! 😀
Glad you got it!! -No one caught the “You got it dude” one though…. I can tell you are a major fan! Yes, I’m not alone!!!!
soooo cool that you got to see the house!!! I wasn’t a huuuge fan, but I’ve seen it plenty of times 🙂 and that little cafe is so cute.. I love places like that! they always have the best food
That cafe came up out of nowhere but I am so glad we stopped in!! 🙂
Aw you look so adorable and happy in all these pictures..I love it! Sausalito sounds like it was a fun place to stop. And that fritata looks amazing!!
Thanks Danielle! You made me smile inside. Every girl likes to hear things like that… I was truly happy 🙂
Gorgeous photos! I’m totally jealous, I’d love to visit California one day! Looks like so much fun!
I would totally recommend going! It was a blast and there is so much to do!
OMG That vegetable frittata looks soooo amazing. It is like 90% vegetables, I love it. I’ve lived in the Bay Area my whole life, but I’ve actually never seen the Full House place.

It WAS amazing!!! TONS of veggies, just the way I like any meal!
Ah I’m jealous you got to visit the Full House house! I was (still am?) totally obsessed with that show. I actually have the whole series on DVD… clearly, I need help!
I need the DVDs…. like yesterday!!!! —It will be on my Christmas list from my parents. Now I have something to want!!!
Isn’t the Bay Area just wonderful?! So glad you’re having a great time! 🙂
Oh goodness it is great! -We had a great GREAT time!!!
I love your passion for Full House! I most definitely share it! I cannot believe you found their exact house! I am SO jealous! Gosh, I think it should be a law that they never change ANYTHING about that house.
Other than Full House, I think the only other show that I followed as obsessively was “Sister, Sister.” I don’t even know if their house even exists in Detroit, but if it does, I want to visit it ASAP! 🙂
I’m all for that law!!! I do wish the door was still red! That would have been even cooler, even though I don’t think that was possible!
-Sister, Sister was a great show too!
I had (along with every other girl – i think) the BIGGEST crush on uncle jesse! Looks like you’re having a blast, and eating fabulously!
Oooh, Uncle Jesse! Whadda hunk! Hahaha! 🙂
Isn’t Sausalito gorgeous? It’s one of my favorite places in the bay! But I’ve never actually been to that restaurant? I’ll have to check it out!! And how fun that you went to the Full House picnic area and actual house! I’ve been living in SF for a while and have never actually been but it’s def a fun photo opp so I’ll have to go soon! Can’t wait to hear more about your trip!
You MUST go to that restaurant! Fabulous!!! 🙂 AND the Full House house TOO!!! 🙂 –Sausalito is such a fun & beautiful place! I WILL be going back some day, WILL!
Great pics—look like you had so much fun! That fritatta looks fantastic 🙂
So, so, SO, so much fun! 🙂
im impressed with the serving they give- thats a nice big and healthy portion!! ❤
xoxo
I had to take some of it to go… it didn’t keep so well though, which totally bummed me out!
How cool! What great experiences. Let’s see – if I could visit a place from a movie, I’d probably visit those places in New Zealand where Lord of the Rings was filmed. They’re beautiful… and my nerdy self would enjoy hobbling around grinning like Gollum.
