West Coast Recap Part:1


Returning from a place as wonderful and amazing as California always makes the work days right after a little bit harder. I'm wishing I could click my red heels and appear back in the vineyards with a big glass of wine in my hand. 

We touched down in San Francisco around lunch time on Tuesday and lucked out with warm weather and bright skies, perfect for walking around the city. First stop was lunch at In-N-Out, naturally. Someone please explain to me why these haven't been opened on the East coast yet? If you're looking for some printed pants to try, I can't get enough of these

 

The last time I was in San Francisco was in high school and I barely remembered it. The city is so easy to fall in love with and I only wish we'd had more time to visit each of the different areas. Getting to have the beau there with me was icing on the cake.

 The Fairmont Hotel is insanely beautiful and offers views of the city that can't be beat. A few favorites of ours from the quick day and a half that we were there...

to stay:
the fairmont hotel

to eat:
mamacita's (some of the best mexican I've had)
fog harbor fish house (touristy maybe, but food was delicious)

to do:
alcatraz tour
drinks at top of the mark
take a cable car ride
walk down lombard street
visit golden gate park
shopping at union square



tomorrow- Napa!

  23. I love the way you broke this down by "To Stay. To Eat. To Do." I did mostly everything on your "To Do" list when I was there also. Great city, and yes very easy to fall in love with.
