Weekend Report 12/28/08

We had a little mini getaway to Marin county this weekend.  Not much to report here– just got a lot of reading done.  Pediatric, Midnight’s Children and Founding Father reading.  Thanks to a tip from Andrea, we enjoyed a fabulous French meal at El Paseo in Mill Valley and spent the night overlooking the harbor in Sausalito.  Sunrise this morning was spectacular.  I had the promenade all to myself:

another version with outgoing container ship:

Then on the way home, we decided to check out Cavallo Point, the old military barracks at Fort Point which were recently reborn as a lovely hotel campus and restaurant, Murray Circle.  All just a walk down from the Marin foot of the Golden Gate Bridge.

I think I’ve found the location of the next Barber Family Reunion.  There are plenty of old homes to stay in and a HUGE lawn for the games and competitions:

After brunch, we hiked around the grounds and watched the fisherpeople down by the bridge.  Did you know you can keep red crabs, but have to throw back Dungeness?
