California Dreamin'

For the past week my husband and I jetted off to California and we had such a wonderful and crazy busy time! Here are some photos from our trip.

We first flew into Palm Springs, shopped the outlet mall for a couple (ok, five) hours and then headed to Disneyland for two adventure-filled days.

These were taken on my iPhone so I apologize for the quality.







After 2 days in Disneyland, we rented a car and drove up to San Francisco. We were in cafe heaven. There were so many yummy and quaint places to go for lunch that we couldn't fit in all the places we wanted to go.

Here are our top 5:

1. Jane Cafe on Fillmore st.



2. The Mill on Divisadero


3. The Plant (a lot of locations to choose from - everything is organic)



4. La Boulange in Hayes Valley


4 1/2. Not a cafe but also in Hayes Valley --> Smitten Ice Cream. Oh. My. Yum.


 5. Blue Bottle - Mint Plaza


Their plethora of cute cafes has made me want to go cafe hunting around Vancouver.


Here are some other great shots of the city.

After a few days in San Francisco, we headed off to Napa for the day before we caught our flight home.

Castello Di Amorosa - a beautiful and detailed replica of a Tuscan castle.



Mmmm…. wine.
