I Left My Heart in San Francisco

While visiting my folks after the Bar Exam we decided to take the train into San Francisco for the day!

Hubby had never been to San Francisco before, so it was quite a treat to show him such an amazing location in my home state. 

When we left my parents' house at 9:00 in the morning it was already nearing 90 degrees. Naturally, we all wore shorts and t-shirts and didn't think twice as we headed out the door. 

Upon arrival, it was freeeezing! It was foggy and cold and there was no way my little outfit would suffice for the day. We all darted (except my dad - crazy!) into the nearest stores and bought sweaters. 

Typical. Tourist. tsk. tsk. 

We had a wonderful time strolling the streets of San Francisco. We walked through China Town and Little Italy, making our way to Fisherman's Wharf and Pier 39. 

We lunched at Scomas, where my mom and I enjoyed clam chowder and the boys dined on steak sandwiches. We indulged with a bottle of Cambria Chardonnay and flourless chocolate cakes. It was one of the best lunches I have had in a long time - we sat there for a few hours and talked and reminisced.  

After lunch we meandered to Ghiradelli Square and sampled [more] chocolate. 

Oh to be on vacation again....

XOXO

PS: My mom and I picked up our matching sweaters from the boys section at Forever 21!

City by the Bay

It was our anniversary weekend and of course this is the same time that the Cincinnati Reds (my hubby's favorite baseball team) play the San Francisco Giants. We have always tried to go and catch at least one game since we started dating (for almost 4 years now) and lucky for us we got to watch two games this past weekend! 

My hubby's work has lots of perks but some of my favorites are the free tickets to sporting games that we occasionally get. On Friday we got to sit super super close! I mean super close. We were down the first base line and only 9 rows up!!! It was sweet! We got to invite two other people and decided to have a double date and bring along his older brother and wife. They are pretty important people in our lives (especially since they introduced us to each other in the first place).

We also went again Saturday night with my parents (free tickets from my dad's work)! It was so much fun and I am so blessed to have two amazing men in my life who can appreciate the game of baseball (so my mom and I can talk and make fun of loud people behind us). But seriously it was great. My dad has always been a Giants fan and has always teased my hubby about liking the Reds. Here are some pictures from our second day in San Francisco!

The new garden area in AT&T Park

Of course I had to get some garlic fries when I game to the park and then some Ghirardelli hot chocolate later at night :) It was splendid! I would love to know what your favorite ballpark food is!
