San Francisco

A few weeks ago the hubs and I met up LA and decided to drive up the coast to San Francisco to take in the California coast and meet up with my brother in San Francisco.


The sky was blue, the waves were crashing and the palm trees were swaying. I love Southern California!


We had dinner in Santa Barbara on the pier. I even walked in the sand! 



We had a blast in San Francisco and saw as much of the city as we could...

…like the Golden Gate Bridge - that is one impressive bridge but boy was it crowded!



And I'm here to tell you it's true! those streets are very hilly. Wouldn't need to use a stair-master if you lived around there, that's for sure


The city was so much fun to see and wander around and the food! oooh the food!! It's as yummy and diverse as here in Chicago. Yum.


I just love how beautiful the west coast is

Back to the Sun

We heard it was suppose to snow in New York again so we hopped the next flight out of town to a sunnier land, Los Angeles. Ok ok perhaps we had some other business but getting away from the snow was a definite bonus. Not that I don't love the snow but once every three or so years is PLENTY!

So while we have been here we have made sure to get in a few favorites.

Like the Santa Monica Pier


And look look there's PCH (Pacific Coast Highway) It runs along the Pacific Coast all the way from the top of Washington to the bottom of California (right through Oregon) and is one of the most beautiful Highways in the US.


We headed over to UCLA to check out the campus...


... where we went to one of my all time favorite burger chains - In n Out Burger!!!


Just look at these fresh cut fries!!! Even Husband agreed that these were some of the best fries he's ever had.


As we were wandering around UCLA we walked past a place with a line (A LINE!!!) out the door and down the block! We obviously we had to see what this was all about. Turns out it's Diddy Riese and they make homemade cookies and then make them into ice cream sandwiches with your choice of cookies and ice cream.

Let me tell you I can understand why people are willing to stand in a line around the block for these things. They are AMAZING!!!!

We'll be heading back to the cold wintery NYC shortly so gotta run and soak up the sun while I can!
