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!

    I’ve always wanted to try In and Out Burger. I’ve heard it’s amazing, and that feast is making me jealous! I can’t wait to hear about Napa. I’m going on a work trip there in a few weeks!

    Awesome! Can’t wait to hear about Napa. Did you stop in Sausalito? I’m totally obsessed with that beautiful town!

      I am so bummed we did not go to Sausalito while in San Fran.! Next time for sure!

    Love everything about your trip to my hometown. Great call on the Fairmont. Have fun in Napa. I just booked two weeks in the Bay Area for June and am giddy!

    I’ve never been to In-N-Out, and I find that so distressing. I love your fun printed jeans — have a blast in Napa!

    Want those pants! Clicked on the link and out of my size 🙁

    We went to San Fran five years ago (almost six) and it was MY FAVORITE vacation! Everyone was so energetic, healthy, and fun! Loved that place!!

    San Fran is a huge huge fave of mine. Haight/Ashbury is a sight to see as well. xoxo

    Oh, how I love my state!!! Your post just made me realize why I love and live here. Beautiful.

    Your printed pants are so fun! I’ve been there once before just on a work trip but I would love to go back and explore one day. It’s a gorgeous state!

    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.

    You look adorable in every outift. Can I ask where your striped blouse is from in the last pic of you all? What an amazing trip!
