Attraction
Being a fan of fortune cookies (don't ask), I was happy to stop by Golden Gate Company, home of fortune cookies. You get to see how they are made and can taste a few for a small fee ($0.25). It's all good here.

Story/Tip
Getting into the mud bath is an experience unto itself, kinda like one of those Fear Factor challenges. Okay, I'm exaggerating, but you'll see what I mean. It's a weird feeling being suspended in mud. However, after a while, I started to relax and really enjoyed the experience. The service is excellent and the staff does a good job making you feel comfortable. We left feeling very peaceful and rejuvenated.
We decided to take our time, spending a day cycling and making many stops along the way to take pictures and visit some shops. The journey to Sausalito takes you along the bay, across Golden Gate Bridge, and into Sausalito. The bike trails were easy to follow and clearly marked. The views were fantastic throughout, as they also were on the ferry back. Along the way, we saw some couples struggling along on tandem bikes. While this option is cheaper and sounds romantic, I'd recommend against it, as you lose maneuverability. Also, parts of the trail can get steep, which means bad news for us masculine fellas providing the pedal power.
