  • Going red, part II.

    I finally got the color I originally wanted and yup, it is red! I feel like I’m bipolar with how I feel about it. Sometimes I think it’s great, others I just keep thinking “o holy hell I need to go back to brown after this 6 week experiment”. Trying to embrace the change…

  • There is nothing like taking a great vacation when you desperately need one. Taking advantage of a GREAT deal, Jenna and I flew out to San Francisco for an extended long weekend. This trip was so great and just what I needed after some insane work weeks.
    Thursday we woke up at the crack of dawn and headed over to Dulles. Armed with a good book and a bacon, egg and cheese I was ready. During the flight I made sure to check out the Rockies. Yes, this girl had never crossed the Mississippi before so I had never seen REAL mountains! After landing we took a harrowing cab ride, dropped our stuff at Katie’s and headed out to explore. We did Fisherman’s Wharf, Alcatraz and Lombard Street on our first day. Alcatraz was beautiful! I honestly could not get over the fact of how pretty it was. The city scape was to die for and HELLO right on the water WITH 75+ degree weather? PERFECT day. We met Katie for dinner at Delarosa, which I def recommend if you are ever in the City by the Bay.
    Friday Jenna and I ventured out to explore again. We rode the cable car to Ghiradelli Square where I tested out the Pacific Ocean. Next we went over to Golden Gate Park, Alamo Square (The Full House Park & Painted Ladies) and walked through Haight Ashbury (we fit right in). We ended our day with some drinks and shopping on Union Street, then headed back to Katie’s to wait for Erin, with some birthday cupcakes for the birthday girl.
    Saturday was Napa. We rode in style renting a limo for a couple of hours. We went to Chandon, Stags Leap, Darioush and the Black Stallion. When I make a return trip I 100% want to try some more places. It was a great day of toasting and tasting new wines with new friends
    Sunday we rented a zip car and drove over the Golden Gate Bridge to Sausalito and Tiburon. After some photo sessions we ended up at Sam’s Cafe on the water in Tiburon. With drinks in hand we were ready to eat and battle the seagulls, apparently they are quite crafty, swooping in and grabbing food, BUT we survived. We drove back and took in an amazing view of the bridge, AND some more pics. Sunday was also Cindo de mayo so of COURSE we celebrated. We went to Tacolicious (another MUST) and thoroughly enjoyed our night of Mexican and a bumping playlist.
    Monday we had 1 more beer and cable car ride and then it was time to come home. I really did not want this vacation to end!

    *sorry this post is so long! at least there are pictures right?

  • I may be on Vacation for the first 3 of the Caps playoff games (no I don’t want to talk about it & it could be worse, I’m going to be on VACATION!) but seriously, any and all who want to do social activities please check the WaPo before calling. If your name is not Locker or Joe B I do not want to be hearing from you during game time.
