A couple months ago we took a trip up to Hog Island Oyster Farm to enjoy a beautiful day with family, oysters and beer. The Farm is about an hour and a half drive north of San Francisco, and it’s a wonderful way to spend a Saturday afternoon. You learn how to shuck your own …
Sharing some photos from our trip to Monterey last month. We went on a whale watching adventure, ate tons of seafood and hiked up at Point Lobos. It was so nice to relax just the two of us—no laptops, no blogging. [above] Big jellyfish! [below] It was a little bit chilly and windy on our …
A couple weeks ago I posted about the amazing Chihuly Garden & Glass exhibit, and today I’m sharing a few more photos from our Seattle trip! [above] A common question in the Olympic Sculpture Park: “Is that art, or can I sit on it?” [above] Mom and dad holding hands while strolling through the sculpture …
Last month when we were up in Seattle we spent an afternoon at the Chihuly Glass and Garden Exhibit. You may have seen some of Chihuly’s larger than life glass installations in some of the ritzy spots in Vegas, like the Bellagio and in the City Center. The exhibit, located right underneath the Space Needle, …
A couple weeks ago, I jetted over to Vegas to attend MAGIC Market Week. It was my first time going, and it was absolutely exhausting, but lots of fun! There were 2,000+ brands there, so even though I tried, I wasn’t quiiiite able to check out all of them. 😉 It was interesting seeing the …
One of the (many) things I love about living in San Francisco is that if you need to get out of the city, there are so many options close by. The ocean isn’t far, and there are lots of pretty trails and national parks a stone’s throw away. In this case, my boyfriend and I …
After our time in Beijing, we hopped on a flight to Hong Kong. It was quite a change of scenery. Hong Kong is this interesting mix of tropical island and a world-class, dense city. The night life is super fun, the skyline is jaw-dropping, and the giant Buddha is awesome. And the shopping, ohh the …
When deranged girls parrot Kate Moss’ “Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels,” I like to respond with a simple, “Bitch, clearly you’ve never eaten at [insert latest most amazing food I’ve tried here].” Since moving to San Francisco, those brackets have usually been filled with “Tartine.” But after our trip to Asia, I think …
My boyfriend and I finally went through all of our photos from our China trip (we took about 1,000!) and picked out the best ones. We spent a week in Beijing, and stayed in a studio apartment that we found on AirBnB in the southern area of the city. Our trip was awesome. China’s history …
As a lot of you know, I was traveling in Asia for half of May. Here are a few of my favorite snaps from last month’s Instagram adventures (and a couple treats from Vine). Captions read clockwise. Follow me on instagram & see the rest of my pics from Beijing & Hong Kong! Painted ladies. …
After getting back from a business trip in Vegas, I went on a quick trip to Monterey with my boyfriend and his family. I was excited to go hiking and take a ton of pictures at Point Lobos, but because of the Big Sur Marathon we couldn’t get on Highway 1 going south and never …
My boyfriend planned out a special day for my birthday that involved a gourmet picnic and a bike ride over the Golden Gate Bridge, to the Marin Headlands and out to the Point Bonita Lighthouse. They were electric bikes, so they came with a bit of an oomph, but up some of those gargantuan hills …
