The Cutest Cupcakes

I love watching Cupcake Wars! It was so cool to watch this one episode where one of the contestants lived not too far from me! Then, to see her win was amazing! I KNEW I had to visit her store!

I wish I took more pictures, but I was in a hurry!! 

You can see her front window where she proudly displays that she was the winner on Cupcake Wars!

Puzzling

Sometimes it's good to turn off the TV, or put away the cell phones, and have some good ole' quality time with the kids!

Puzzles are so underrated these days. This was so fun (and sometimes frustrating) to do this with the kids, but totally worth it!

Dim Sum

My husband took me to his favorite restaurant in the city to get Dim Sum. We came at the perfect time (when it first opened) because the place filled up fast!! It was so good!! Now I'm craving for it again!

Me & My Guy

Even though I'm posting things that happened awhile back, it's my way of catching up with my blog, and journaling moments that are special.

This one is way back, January 2015, when my husband and I had another baycation in San Francisco. We started off with lunch at The Cliff House (which overlooks the beach), enjoyed the weather, and then headed to our hotel. There's nothing that compares to when we have this quality time together!

Beautiful day!

I don't know why I didn't take a picture of our meal, but I remember having a huge burger, and my husband had cioppino. But, here are the appetizers that we started off with. Shrimp cocktail, and fried calamari.

Dessert is always a must! Creme Brulee for him, and fruit cobbler for me!

I always love the views from our room!! I seriously never get tired of it! Majority of the time that we are in the city, we stay at Hotel NIkko.

We found this cute coffee shop in The Mission called Tierra Mia Coffee, and we always stop here before we head home.

Walker Stalker Con

My family and I are total Walking Dead fans!! I never thought I would get into this kind of show, but after watching the first couple of episodes, I was hooked!! 

So, can you imagine the excitement when we found out that we were going to Walker Stalker Con in San Francisco! Just knowing we were going to see some of the actors from that show face to face was unreal!

The kidos (minus one)!

A Traveling They Will Go

When my two older kids graduated from high school last year, their gift from my sis in-law was a trip to New York!

They were so excited to go (who wouldn't be), and I knew they would have so much fun!

Here they go! The drop off at the airport!

In the air, their first official New York pizza, and face timing me from Times Square!

Just Another Date Night

I guess we frequent this restaurant a lot! But, what can I say...the prime rib is the bomb!!!

I don't want to lose all these memories that we have built over time! This was last year in August for my birthday.

The next day we ate at 21st Amendment before we headed home!

Good Eats

My husband and I love to try new places to eat! When a restaurant has good reviews, and the menu is appealing to us, we will totally try it out at least once!

This place did not disappoint. I've read reviews about Bobo's in San Francisco, and I knew we had to go!

It wasn't in the middle of a busy area, so it was easy to get to, and made early reservations! The pictures are a little dark because the restaurant is dimly lit. Makes it romantic!

We started with Lobster Soup which was creamy and delicious!

Crispy Crab Cakes. So good!!
