Officially a two-car family.

After several months of weighing the pros and cons, I finally pulled the trigger after I found my ideal car. 

Certified pre-owned, from a local BMW dealer.

 Paddle shifters (I plan to reserve these for special occasions since they make the car extra thirsty).

Put away - with its ears (side mirrors) automatically tucked in.

Courtney Comes to Visit

Courtney bought me cheese and dill popcorn, but some of it spilled in her bag...so we just ate it out of her suitcase haha :)

We went to Half Moon Bay to do a hike and lunch :)

Super steep hill.

Dinner at In & Out Burger!

Next day was Santa Cruz!

Sliders were delicious, but no way did I get through that whole plate!

Hangin' out with pirates.

Fun house mirrors!

Special homegrown business in Santa Cruz - excellent ice cream! 

mmmmmm there were whoppers in my ice cream and they were delicious!

 Checked out Santana Row that night, and ended up at Cheesecake Factory for drinks and dessert.

Last day was San Francisco!

Cioppino's for lunch (on the wharf).

Boudin bakery. 

Bridge was a little foggy, but still a good pic - it was SUPER windy.

At Marin Headlands checking out the forts. 

Shopping in SF.

Court found Dill Pickle chips in a Walgreens close to our hotel - obviously a no brainer!

Part of our room (which was really nice)

Loved our lobby.

At Cheesecake Factory in Union Square.

We had a photo shoot at Macy's on our way out of cheesecake factory. :) 

Back at hotel bar - terrible drinks...ughhhh.

Our beautiful staircase that we loved on our floor.

Thanks so much for the hotel Court - what a fun night!

Saying goodbye to our hotel and San Francisco!

Last stop before the airport - awesome chicken fingers :)

Thanks for the amazing weekend Court! It was great having you out here :)
