this past weekend

This past weekend was one of those times where I count my lucky stars that I have the best friends and the best husband in the world. We took a trip to California {for a friends wedding} and I could not have asked for a more perfect four days.

We started the weekend in San Francisco, and since we only had 24 hours there, wanted to make the most of it. We started the day exploring the city... I was warned about the chillier temps, but I could not believe that even in jeans and a light coat, I was still a bit cold! We ate lunch at Pizzeria Delfina {thanks for the recommendation, friends!}, toured Alcatraz, and finished the night at Tacolicious {eating way too many tacos and drinking a few too many margaritas!} 

Friday we woke up bright and early and headed to Napa. This was one of the most beautiful drives of my life - rolling hills filled with acres upon acres of green grass and grape vines. We did a wine tasting, a little sparkling wine tasting, and then a little more wine tasting... it was so so fun. We met up with friends for lunch at Mustards {where I stumbled across the biggest sunflower ever in their garden} and then finished the night at Bottega {with two desserts and some tasty pasta!}. 

Saturday morning was filled with ... more wine tasting!! {and a trip to In n Out} Yum yum yum. That night we watched two of our friends tie the knot in one of the most beautiful wedding venues I could imagine. The wedding took place overlooking the vineyards and the most adorable love sign in the distance. 

Sunday morning we headed back to San Francisco. I waited in line for an hour at Tartine and when I got to the front of the line, went a little overboard. After sampling about six pastries, I deemed it worth the wait :) Our entire weekend was absolutely wonderful.
