San francisco!! (1)

I got the opportunity to go to san francisco with my sister and her husband last week, and i'm soo happy i went. I had been to san francisco before but i didn't do much of anything as far as actually seeing the city.. so this time i was really excited. And luckily for us, my brother in law's aunt lives there and she showed us around the entire day. (Traveling tip: go with someone who knows the city!) She took us around to all the touristy spots, but also showed us around some not as touristy but super amazing neighborhoods and areas. And thats when i fell in love with san francisco. It's a GORGEOUS city.. (it probably helped that it was clear skies and 80 degrees)

Hello! The last seven days have been a whirl wind.

Last wednesday Vanessa and i made a mini road trip to Atlanta to do some (window) shopping and we met up with some super sweet blogger friends, Lauren and Rhiannon, for more shopping and coffee. It was perfect! (I didn't take any photos of my own, but you can see more on lauren's and rhiannon's blog)

When we got back, I had one day to pack for a month in washington. And on Saturday evening we started what ending up being a 56 hour (!!!!!) trip from georgia to northern california... with our cat. My sister met us there and we continued the trip through the night to washington.
So I was in a vehicle from saturday evening to tuesday morning, it was crazy. But our kitty was extremely well behaved about being cooped up for so long. He just sat in our laps or under a seat and was calm the entire time. I was very proud!



I'll be staying here in the NW at my sister and her husbands place for a month while Josh and the band record their album in California.

Happy first day of fall!
