Yosemite National Park

Hubby and I took a late birthday trip/early mothers day getaway to Yosemite! This place is special to us because this is where the hubby proposed :) I also had a surprise trip here for my birthday this past year. So, basically we love Yosemite and wish we could be here every weekend.

Here are some gorgeous pictures my hubby took of our little trip!

Our trip could not have gone any better! We left H at home so we could hike. And boy did we hike. We went up to Nevada falls the first day and it was gorgeous! If you have not been to Yosemite yet, no matter where you are from I encourage you to go!

Jet Set!

Last week Hubby and I headed to sunny Santa Barbara for a little getaway/work trip.

We looked at office space for our California office! (I didn't take the CA bar for nothin'!)

We found an adorable, newly renovated office right off of State Street (the main drag, filled with shops, shops, and more shops). Now I just have to wait for bar results to come out...

We also did some networking, caught up with old friends, and enjoyed the perfect weather!

Enjoy a few photos from our trip!

French Toast and Eggs Benedict from Jeannine's in Montecito - my favorite place for breakfast!

We perused the Farmer's Market...

I love the colors of all the fresh veggies!

Butterfly Beach is always gorgeous!

I love everything about Santa Barbara; the sounds, the smells, the people, the food, the stores! 

It really is (in my humble opinion) the most beautiful place on earth! 

We love that the Coast Village Inn offers complimentary beach cruisers! 

Cruisin' by the lagoon at the Santa Barbara Zoo!

I love walking around the harbor! 

No trip would be complete without a trip to Crush Cakes! 

Lemon drop for me! Red velvet for Hubby! 

I can't wait to officially open a new office in Santa Barbara! It is going to be so fun to have a jet set lifestyle, traveling back and forth! I'd better learn how to pack better, lighter, and more concise! :)

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!

Hilton Head Island, South Carolina Part 1

Last week Hubby and I traveled to Hilton Head Island, South Carolina to celebrate Hubby's 30th Birthday! 

We booked the trip before we decided to take the California bar (you can read about that decision here) so we ended up having to do a lot of studying while we were there. 

Nonetheless, the trip was a perfect little break from the office and we had a fabulous time!

We flew into Charleston, SC around 11 PM and drove the two and a half hours to Hilton Head Island. We rented an adorable one bedroom condo in the Sea Pines Resort. When we arrived we went straight to bed and had no idea where our condo was located in proximity to the water, golf courses, etc. 

 We were so excited to wake up and find this view right off our back patio....

 When we weren't studying, we enjoyed walking on the pier...

Hunting for alligators...

and enjoying the sand between our toes!

 

South Carolina was absolutely gorgeous! Everything was so green and lush! The Atlantic Ocean was far warmer than I imagined and the sand was soft, like powder. 

Even though much our trip was spent in doors, noses to the books, it was still an amazing opportunity to travel to a part of the country that I had never been to before. 

More photos to come...

XOXO
