San Francisco: Ocean Beach

IMG_3778

After the Golden Gate Bridge we went back to Ocean Beach and spent nearly three hours just walking the beach, watching the waves crash while the sun set and chatting together. This is one of my most favorite memories of our trip to San Francisco.

There is something about the ocean that just calms my spirits and puts my soul at ease. It's seeing God's beauty in something so simple but also majestic at the same time. It wasn't exactly dip in the water type of weather but Sean took off his sneakers that way he could feel the sand between his toes. It was seriously the most perfect day so I had to pinch myself a few times. Excuse the million and one pictures of our time spent in Ocean Beach but as is typical me, I could not help myself or pick favorites.

We absolutely love how dog friendly San Francisco is.

Such a great smile when we complimented her pit-bull :)

You can't help but smile when the graffiti has one of your favorite sayings :)

We popped into Cliff House for a quick drink and some wings to hold us over until dinner before heading back to our hotel room.

We freshened up really quickly and then went to Wipeout Restaurant for dinner. I'd be honest, I was not thrilled to be getting dinner here but Sean was insistent on it so off we went. I was quite surprised with how delicious and fresh our dishes were!

After the night before and an entire day of just walking about, we were a bit tired so we made it an early night. The best part is that we still went to bed feeling extremely satisfied with our third day in San Francisco.

New Orleans: Evening jazz cruise

Image
On our third evening in NOLA, we went on Steamboat Natchez for their evening jazz cruise. It is a two hour cruise ride along the Mississippi River and it was just so beautiful. We had dinner on the boat and although the food was nothing to write home about the overall experience was such a great one. The music, the views, the people... it was truly just a lovely experience. We experienced the loveliest sunset and just being able to see it and be in that moment was just one of the reasons why it really is so grand to be alive. Too many pictures were taken, even Sean wanted to take pictures and well, I don�t think you can blame us too much. Many of my pictures turned out like the one below because of the humidity. My lens would fog up immediately. It truly was such a great evening and one that I will not soon forget.

Good food & good music

Image
I don�t think there are many more things that are better than good food & good music. I truly believe that food & music can often play a role in putting someone in a great mood or a foul mood. For instance, I know that when I hear a song that I use to listen to when I was a kid, it just brings me back to that exact moment and often times I can�t help but get the silliest grin on my face. Anyway, this brunch date with Cinthia on an extremely cold, spring day (not bitter) did just that. It transported me back to New Orleans where I was stuffing my piehole with delicious foods while listening to live jazz music. And what a great time we had! Live jazz, bottomless mimosas, the cheesiest mac and cheese, lightly toasted cornbread, fried green tomatoes, NOLA shrimp and warm beignets. We felt like we ordered it all but truthfully, we hardly touched the surface of the menu. This wasn�t our first time at The Bayou but it was just as enjoyable as the first time. I feel like we w...

Spring made an appearance!

Image
Guys, we finally got spring like weather (80s!!!) and we made sure to take advantage of it. Good thing too because we are back in the 40s & 50s this week. Not nice spring, not nice. We first enjoyed coffee and breakfast on the deck and then went to the gym for a workout. We had big plans to work on our front and back yards after the gym as Mr. Sean did not rake up the leaves last fall. Since it was going to be such a nice day, I decided that I'd help him, ha. I know how that sounds but I love informing everyone that I�m responsible for the inside cleaning & he�s responsible for the outside cleaning, also known as, raking, mowing, shoveling, etc. Anyway, regardless of how much work it was, it was actually very enjoyable & I believe our workouts earlier in the day helped to give us the energy we needed to work several hours in the front and back yards. But let's be honest, with the weather being so nice it made me want to be outside all day. The dogs were lovin...
