Back from PI!

Hi All!!  I’m back from my 6 week visit in my native country, the Philippines.  It was a lot of fun with family and friends, comfort filipino food( I think I’m 5 lbs. heavier:-)…and lots and lots of white beaches and sunshine!  I will be blogging about my PI adventures in the coming weeks:)

Miami Trip

We had a nice little vacation in South Beach, Miami this weekend! It’s fun with their beautiful beaches and warm weather (not so pleasant on our last day though due to the terrible thunderstorm which delayed our flight!)  We loved the beach, the water was really warm and clear (what’s not to love?!).  The hotel that we stayed in was comfortable and nice and within walking distance from the beach and Ocean drive:)  We will definitely be back in Miami for our future travels:)

SFO trip

Hubby and I spent 5 days in San Francisco for a little getaway!  We did a lot of touristy things, the “must” do whenever your visiting SFO.  We did the Golden Gate Bridge bay cruise, Alcatraz cruise / tour, Pier 39 / Fishermans Wharf!  It’s our first time to visit the city and we loved it.  We stayed in Union square at the Handlery Hotel and it felt like NYC’s Times Square.  So many people crossing the streets and traffic is so crazy!  What a fun weekend with my hubby:)

Goldbergs’ Restaurant and Delicatessen

We had brunch at this restaurant after Church last Sunday.  I’ve never been to this place but Zach’s been here twice already and he said it’s decent.  I was pleasantly surprised because the look of the place outside didn’t match the nice ambiance inside.  I know we had too much food (please don’t judge) but we had the left overs for dinner so no food was wasted!

Hubby!

Happy Birthday Julia!

Today is my sister in-law’s birthday and we had a yummy dinner and rocky road chocolate cake.  My parent in-law’s bought ribs, chicken bbq, and  spicy Italian sausages, pasta salad, mojo potatoes, chicken salad!  So much food tonight:) I asked my hubby to take foodie pics but I guess he got distracted or something because the pics didn’t do justice to the yummy food!  Oh well, Happy Birthday Julia!  We had a great time celebrating your birthday dinner, especially Riley (he loves his auntie so much).
