We’re back!
But first, I just
want to take a minute to send my love & prayers to all those who lost loved
ones on this day 13 years ago. And a
HUGE thank you to all of the firefighters, police officers, and military men &
women who work everyday to protect us against such threats now & in the
future. THANK YOU! #neverforget
Day 1// Explored
Fisherman’s Wharf & downtown San Fran
Highlights
Our ride around
town.

| The Hubs enjoyed driving the Stang around... me? Not so much. Let's just say I don't plan on driving anything but my little SUV for... well, forever. |

The Hill from H-E-
double hockey sticks!
 |
| Dear Giant Hill, my feet despise you! that is all. |
Explored Pier 39 – It
was definitely the most popular of the piers along Fisherman’s Wharf.
 |
| Top pic: San Fran skyline & the cutest seals! Can you spot them?! Also pictured: Alcatraz & Carousel on pier. |
Dinner: Press Club in
downtown San Fran. 1 word: AMAZING!
A little wine tasting
flight && some delicious eats.
We shared the lamb burgers & Duck sausage and Quail Jambalaya. HIGHLY RECOMMEND BOTH.
Day 1 Side Notes: We ate lunch at Fisherman’s
Grotto on Pier 39. We weren’t impressed
& I was disappointed bc we could have probably chose 1001 different and
much better options. Lesson learned.
Day 2//Palo Alto
& Sausalito, CA
Highlights
Philz Coffee!
 |
| Philz was the ONLY coffee shop I experimented with that I actually liked in all of San Fran... a little disappointed, but the Mint Mojito Iced Coffee did not disappoint! So delish! |
Drive across the
Golden Gate Bridge
Sausalito
 |
| One of Josh & I's favorite places we visited. So quaint, cute, and beautiful! |
Dinner: Copita (Sausalito)
HUGE thank you to Cassie over at Living on Cloud Nine for the recommendation!
Ate: Oyster and
Mahi Mahi tacos. Both were INCREDIBLE!
Drank: Josh
ordered a spicy margarita (sorry, can’t remember the name) that he really
liked. Me, some fruity margarita, it was
good, but I’m probably not the person to ask bc I am strictly a wine girl.

Day 3// Around town
& back to Pier 39
Highlights
This was the Hubs
last day at his seminar so on his lunch break I found a little park near by for
us to eat lunch and play around. Lunch
was gyros & the park was Bedwell Bayfront Park.

He loves me...
He loves me,
maybe.
Dinner: Crab House on
Pier 39 (Fisherman’s Wharf) Absolutely the BEST crab we have ever eaten. We were SO full & if you ever eat crab, that
is hard to do! We did get calamari for an appetizer (good, also) & we tried
one of their signature cocktails, but like I said before wine girl…couldn’t
drink it! Ick!
Oh and we may or may
not have gotten dessert THEN also shared a strawberry Nutella crepe! Oops!
 |
| The view, sigh. :) and obviously, our cutest outfits of the week ;) |
Day 4// Day trip to
Santa Cruz
By far our FAVORITE place in Cali!
Highlights
Henry Cowell Redwoods
State Park
 |
| So awesome & humbling... If you ever want to be reminded of how small we are & how BOG God is, just stand next to a Redwood. Incredible! |
 |
| The view looking up. |
 |
| Clovers were all over the place... reminded me of my brother :) |
Then we stopped by
the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk for some fun!
 |
| We rode the Skyride across the boardwalk to see everything! Both scary & cool. Def recommend going if you like roller coasters! |
Ended the day with
wine tasting that did not disappoint! If you ever in Santa Cruz you have to go
to MJA Vineyards! The owner/ winemaker is from Hawaii & every wine we tried
was truly unique and fabulous! They also sell Kona coffee…basically it was
perfection!
Oh and their tasting
pours are VERY generous! You have been warned.
We were only a short
walk to the beach so off we went!
 |
| So breathtaking! Those waves were awesome & it was so fun to watch the surfers. |
