Thank you so much for the beautiful oak serving board! We can’t wait to use it during the many dinner parties you’ll be invited to this winter. Looking forward to celebrating with you at our wedding!

For a kitchen gift you received before your wedding

How did you know we were dreaming of those crystal champagne flutes?! They’re by far the most beautiful glasses in our home and we’ve never felt fancier. You’ll have to come over soon so we can toast to you! So excited to see you in June.

For drinkware you received before your wedding

We had a blast dancing the night away with you at our wedding. We also can’t thank you enough for the espresso maker. Our mornings have never been brighter! We can’t wait to see you in Austin next month… all caffeinated up!

For a coffee gift you received after your wedding

Where have you been hiding those killer dance moves? Thank you so much for rocking out at our wedding. And we absolutely love our new cast iron skillet and cookbook! We’re already cooking up a storm. Hope to see you soon in New York!

For cookware you received after your wedding

Thank you so much for the beer-brewing kit! We hope to be sipping backyard IPAs with you in no time. We missed you at the wedding, but know you were there in spirit. Can’t wait to see you when we’re back from our honeymoon!

For a gift-giver who couldn’t come to your wedding

Carly & Charlie

A few of our favorite outdoor activities and eats in the Bay Area.

Things To Do

Scenic hike with a waterfall that is not for the faint of heart. If you make it to Ridgecrest Blvd (intersects with Laurel Dell Road), you'll be treated to a spectacular ocean view of Bolinas and Drakes Bay.

Cataract Falls Trail

California farm-to-table favorite within walking distance of the hotels.

Octavia

Old-growth redwood trees along Redwood Creek - local shuttles leave from Sausalito, or hotels can arrange transportation. No cell service at Muir Woods.

Muir Woods National Monument

Best-kept secret beach in SF with plenty of surrounding trails off of Old San Pedro Mountain. Humpback and Gray Whales can be seen on their migration to Mexico. The water here is quite sharky.

Gray Whale Cove Trail & Beach

Good spot to enjoy a sunrise, sunset, or anything in between. Dogs abound.

Bernal Heights

Excellent Russian bakery just north of Golden Gate Park in Richmond District. Nod to Sam Sperling for this find.

Cinderella Bakery & Cafe

Family-friendly hike with the option to extend to Point Bonita or the Nike Missile Site. Turn right on McCullough Road on the way back for a great view of the Golden Gate.

Rodeo Beach - Coastal Trail

Pretty darn good Vietnamese food in a funky restaurant just east of the Transamerica Pyramid.

Sai’s Vietnamese Restaurant

Long out-and-back trail with access to swimming at Bass Lake and Wildcat Beach. Take a chilly dip at Bolinas Beach afterwards to wash the dust off.

Palomarin Trail - Bolinas

Well worth the full-day trip - plenty of sea otters, harbor seals and other marine life to see up close from your kayak.
