For Kay's birthday dinner, she wanted to go anywhere that had crab. We chose Salito's Crab House & Prime Rib in Sausalito. We've never been to Salito's before, but we've been to their sister restaurant, The Dead Fish, in Crockett.

We headed over to Sausalito right after our day at Boo at the Oakland Zoo. We had to cross both the new Bay Bridge and the Golden Gate Bridge on our drive to Sausalito. I love bridges.

For dinner Kay ordered a whole crab, which is steamed in a garlic sauce. It comes with no sides. I ordered the prime rib and crab dinner and that came with potalitos and creamed spinach. I've never heard of potalitos before. They are roasted and smashed potatoes. We ordered a couple salads to share.

 

   

For dessert, we had an order of their homemade beignets. They were served warm, dusted with powdered sugar.

We'd definitely go back.

Today, we took Kay to the Boo at the Oakland Zoo ... just as we've done the last few years. This is the one event that I look forward to every year. I think this will be her last year though. Alas ... she's growing up.

This year Kay dressed up as a gothic vampire princess. A joint picked costume -- Kay wanted something not so "girlie" and this was a compromise. Kay actually liked the dress.

This event is held every year on the weekend before Halloween. The kids get a scavenger hunt list at the entrance and they have to identify animals with a riddle. The kids then take their list to the appropriate animal area and get their lists stamped and get a treat.

We have a membership with the Oakland Zoo and there is no additional cost for this event. I snagged this family membership through a special offer through the zoo for past members ($55.00 -- it included a parking pass and 1/one time use family pass to give to a friend).

Kay Kay's 9

Little Miss Kay Kay turned 9 today. She woke up early to a mountain of gifts. She was so happy that I got her the Minecraft Legos she's been talking about.
