My jaunt around the Bay area this weekend was just STUPID fun. I dreamt of all the fun that could occur, then in real life my dreams were blown out of the water. Friday, we began with a little visit to San Fran. We checked out the FULL HOUSE house! Remember from the theme song? ("Ya miss your old familiar friends...WAITING JUST AROUND THE BEEEEEENNNND!") We went to the park where these "Painted Ladies" are and had a little picnic and photo op: Then, of course, we checked out the golden gate bridge. Notice the outfit changes between the Painted Ladies and the bridge hike. It was cold on the bridge, like real winter-time cold. It was foggy and San Francisco-y....but super fun.... Also, Friday night, we went to Chinatown for a delicious and authentic Asian meal. We got our own private booth behind a very glamorous and mysterious red velvet curtain. Clearly, in our private booth we just acted like children: Then, for Saturday, we headed to Santa Cruz to enjoy the beach, boardwalk and some tasty seafood. It was nice to lay in the sun and snack on some fried things. I partook in fish n' chips until I was sick from the deliciousness. We ate by the water and soaked in the scenery... Sunday morning, we awoke early-ish to go on a mountain hike at beautiful Mission Peak. The hike wasn't too long, but it was VERY steep. Manfriend and I were definitely sweating out our wine by the end of it. I seriously felt like I was going to pass out and fall down. But we were all smiles at the top: All in all, the trip was highly victorious. Traveling with manfriend is probably my favorite thing we do together. Also, I got to do some much-needed catching up with one of my old BFFs. She even asked me to be in her wedding next summer! Yay! I can't wait for that! In the meantime, I'm recovering from 4 days of leisure. There's really nothing like 38574908567497 work emails to answer to shock you back into reality!
