An Autumn Afternoon Stroll

We get so few nice days in Illinois, that we try to take advantage of them. We're so lucky to have these days. So Boyfriend and I took and Autumn stroll with the puppydog and our friends and their little baby girl.

The beautiful Fall foliage is wonderful and the air is cold and crisp even when the sun in shining. Happy end of Fall everyone. Winter is coming...

A Weekend in San Francisco/ Monetrey

Two of my best friends live in Northern California. So when I had the opportunity to fly out for the weekend, I seized the opportunity. It's so hard to coordinate schedules, especially with different days off, different hours and a two hour time zone difference. Here's what we did. 

Dim sum in San Francisco

Exploring Big Sur

Drinking wine in Carmel Valley

Thai for lunch

Don't forget the zin

Monterrey

Lover's Point with my lavah! 

Repping the World Series Champs

Sharing mussels

Bourbon cherry cocktail

Bestie's and my dinner

Homemade pumpkins muffins, to go

Pancakes for breakfast

Apparently, my lack of alcohol tolerance and jetlag produce a short night, but I had fun nonetheless. Hopefully I wasn't too much of a drag. Thanks for the great weekend in Cali. Hopefully I can bring Boyfriend next time.
