Lovely Bay Area... back again




It has officially been about two years since we lived in the Bay Area- and, most surprisingly, we have not been back since we left until now. We have been staying at the lovely Brown Kidde's home in Rockridge (my favortie) in Oakland. Heather & Jon have truly welcomed us into their home for the past week where we have spent beautiful, sun-filled days frequenting our old favorite spots. Such spots include Cole Coffee, Saul's, Zachary's, Cafe Fanny, and of course, San Francisco, where we visited Tartine, ZaZie's, and my new favorite, Blue Bottle Coffee. Have you noticed most of these places are coffee shops, go figure... We also went to Point Reyes Peninsula and spent a day on the beach- we went hiking in the Redwoods right here in Oakland. Some things I am loving the most, being with Heather & Jon, the smell of jasmine, the smell of the Eucalyptus trees, seeing JoAnn & Don and their family, being on vacation with Taylor, the landscape, the fog, the sun, sipping coffee at sidewalk cafes...
