We’re back from our eight day adventure in California! We started with a 3 day stint in San Francisco, followed by a day/night in Sonoma and four days in LA! This post is all about San Francisco. I’m sharing photos and advice on the San Francisco sites, foodie recommendations, and all of the areas you should be sure to see! We started by checking into Hilton’s Parc 55 – a huge and modern hotel with a perfect location that’s really central to the city.

I got back several days ago from a trip to San Francisco that was after another incredible trip to NYC to visit House of Bumble for our annual Bumble and bumble National Sales Gathering. This was my first time to San Francisco (my first time to California, in fact), and I am IN LOVE with the city! Our first day, we started with a breakfast that was almost too pretty to eat, and then went on our way to start exploring San Fran, wandering to Union Square, Chinatown, The Haight, Golden Gate Park, The Mission, and everywhere in between! Some of my shopping finds… Our trip involved sightseeing, cocktails, lots of eating, a little shopping, a trip to Sonoma, and the continued exclamation of how much we love…
