San Fran to See Mere

Well it's been awhile my friends. Let's just say I've been busy. Like 'there are so many things going on you get an ulcer' busy. Yes, apparently perfectly healthy 27 year olds can get ulcers. Whoopsies. Stay tuned to see all that I've been up to in the past months. I plan on catching up to current happenings by next week. Woohoo!

Now, on to my amazing trip to San Francisco to visit Meredith. Warning: mucho awesome pictures ahead. Meredith moved to San Fran last summer and I instantly wanted to visit her and the great state of California, but plane tickets were redic in the summer so I put that in the 'have Airfare Watchdog keep an eye on this for me' pile until February when an amazingly good deal arrived and I snatched it up. Added bonus: I accidentally booked this trip for Super Bowl weekend and both the 49ers and Ravens (Meredith's team) were kind enough to make it to the Super Bowl to create a perfect storm of sorts for an epic weekend. Bring it on. Here is a pictorial account of our shenanigans:

Mere had to work a bit so I did some exploring, saw me a trolly on one of the 76476576 hills

Ghirardelli Square, chocolate!!!

Alligator Bread!

Sea Lions at Pier 39

Straight Posing Silverback homie

New friends

Golden Gate Bridge, necessary stop

So apparently Wheat Thins was debuting new flavors of Wheat Thins via Twitter during the Super Bowl. We has some...

So, all in all it was a perfect trip with many more shenanigans that escaped my paparazzing like the tour of Tcho, making zero friends walking around San Fran with Meredith wearing her Raven's jersey on Super Bowl Sunday, secret speakeasy drinking etc. Can't wait to visit again asap, thanks Mere!

Grace and Jameson

A weekend ago I traveled back East for a dear friend, Grace’s, wedding. She was married in the lovely Eastern Shore town of Chestertown. The ceremony, setting, and of course the bride were all perfect! I had an amazing time celebrating Grace and Jameson as well as catching up with some of my favorites, Meredith and Hannah (I also got to swing by and see Christine, Abigail, and the Noodle, score)! It was a whirlwind weekend, but definitely worth it to see all those ladies in one weekend. Here are some of my fave pics from the wedding:

My favorite part is seeing the wedding cake! I give Grace mad props for this beautiful and yet still fun design! Oh and no fondant, extra bonus points!

The groom's cake (he's a Giants fan obvi):

Check out the veil!
