I'm home tonight from a five day visit to San Francisco. I'm a native Californian, so I've been to San Francisco several times before, but this trip was extra special! The five days were spent shopping, eating, chatting, and then a bit more shopping and eating! I shared this wonderful week with Sharnel of My life my loves, a beautiful friend whom I met (on the internet) several years ago through our mutual love of cupcakes and pretty things. Although I've considered Sharnel a true friend (much more than just an internt acquaintance) for quite a while, we've never met in person. Sharnel flew from her home in Australia this past week and we enjoyed a whirlwind tour of San Francisco. I have LOTS of fun photos to share (that I'll include in a few future posts), but I'll start with a little overview....
Here is Sharnel (on the left) and I just hours after first meeting in person. We enjoyed a lunch down on Fisherman's Wharf. Sharnel enjoyed the traditional sea side lunch, clam chowder in a fresh sourdough bread bowl.
Throughout our visit we enjoyed the beautiful and unique architecture and scenery of San Francisco....
We also enjoyed a few sweets along the way...
And rounded out the sweets with a few other yummy foods...
We also did LOTS of fun shopping...
(Above) We enjoyed a stop at Paper Source after sharing a beautiful lunch with Becca of Birthday Girl, and Michelle of Cakewalk (more photos of our visit with these lovely ladies in a future post).
(Below) One of the stops on our "must see" list included a gorgeous ribbon store... Sharnel and I went nuts in this store ohh-ing and ahh-ing.
That's all from our trip for tonight. I'll be sharing more photos in future posts. We found a few really special places I'll look forward to sharing! I had such a wonderful time with Sharnel, a beautiful person inside and out. Not to mention, incredibly talented, kind, genuine and down right hysterical... this girl has an amazing sense of humor! But I am also glad to be home... somehow my town feels more like "home" than ever, my husband looks cuter than ever (I wanted to say sexier than ever, can I say that?) and my children seem extra angelic.
Home sweet home.
