My Visit To The City By The Bay


        We spent the long weekend in The Bay area and enjoyed the beautiful weather and
                        amazing scenery. This bridge takes my breath away! Always.



                                  I loved this shot of The Bay bridge. The day was gorgeous!


                    I could drive around San Francisco for hours and just looks at the houses.
                                                These ones are a few of my favorites.


                                I heart the angle I took of these awesome buildings.


                     We needed our daily dose of sugar and went to Susie Cakes in SF ....
                                    The light green buttercream frosting made me happy.


                                                          Uber cute sign.


                         
                                                                   HEART houses

                            Stopped by Tyler Florences shop in Mill Valley...and upscale
                                                          version of Williams Sonoma.


            Had a beer sampler at the Marin Brewery in Larkspur. Blueberry was my favorite.


                         My girl enjoying the sun and sand on a beautiful Saturday afternoon.

        We had such a great weekend and I was so happy to take all of these cool pics of the
        most GORG city in the world. I have lots more photos to share. This is just a sample.
        I hope your holiday weekend was a wonderful one!!

    Love the photos of your visit to San Fran. It's funny my daughter who lives there went down to Manhattan Beach in So.Cal for the weekend. She loves the warmer weather down there. I will have to ask her if she's been to Suzy Cakes as she loves,loves, cupcakes!!! We are excited about an upcoming visit to San Fran this summer. At the end of the trip we are going to take our time and drive down the P.C.H. and take in the sites. Looking forward to it! Janet Blondell
