Anniversary a year later...

Last year for our anniversary Ruben & I took a trip to Tomales Bay...definitely one of the better decisions of our lives. It was the most beautiful place I've ever been, hands down. It's hard to believe that there is still land in California that is so completely breathtaking and unscathed. Along with the remarkable scenery, we ate theeeee best food of our lives. Everything was amazingly fresh and locally produced, which seriously makes all the difference in the world. I'd go back in a heartbeat, and I recommend a weekend trip up there to everyone ever! Hope you enjoy these pictures as much as we enjoyed the weekend there!Wine & cheese basket at the bread & breakfast! Featuring Cowgirl Creamery, Point Reyes Blue (the only bleu cheese produced in CA), and more!
Ping pong at the B&B!
On the hike to the lighthouse...






Banana slug!
It's about a two mile hike to the lighthouse. I think the stairs are a mile on their own! We saw a baby gray whale when we got to the bottom!







Whaleskull



Fries & fish tacos at Drake's Beach. Seriously the best fries of all time. ALL TIME!

Beer & oyster break at the Marshall Store.

BBQ oysters are pure heaven...we also tried plates of the raw & baked oysters there. BBQ'd were definitely my fave. Like death row meal status.
I love the cows,,,






Open faced tomato & cheese sandwich from the Cowgirl Creamery. So bomb.

KEEP YOUR POWDER DRY

Pictures from August 2010:Gnarly fire off the 152 on a drive from socal to the bay. Crazy they still had the road open, but I'm happy it was so we didn't have to take a detour.
Me @ Fisherman's Wharf.
Rare sunny summer day in SF. Alcatraaaaz.

Kev & Me.
MAC 'N' CHEESE LIFE.
We bought tickets last minute and literally got the highest seats up at Giants vs. Dodgers. Dodgers lost :(
This is me & Is at the Fool's Gold x Stonesthrow party in SF. The place it was at was dope, right up against the bay, bummed I couldn't get any good pictures since it was dark out.

Someone told me that was Steve Aoki inside that costume.



I randomly flew down to socal because my cousin needed someone to drive back up to the bay with her. It was a really cool, long day trip, haha. Nice to spend some time with her outside of family gatherings at the holidays, because we were super close as kids but haven't got to spend as much time together as we've grown older. Anyhow, we left San Diego at like 4 am, I believe these shots were taken somewhere around San Luis Obispo. Pretty, gray morning skies.

We stopped at Hearst Castle! It was my second trip there, and it's definitely a must-see at least once in your life. Tons of baller shit and beautiful views.

Cool view in the guest house.

Freaky baby cherub ceiling.


Dope lamp.

The indoor pool is my favorite part. Straight beautiful.



Afterwards we went to the beach nearby the castle. I guess it is famous for some kind of seal/sea lion? I have no idea. There were a ton of tourists there, though.




One weekend Rubes and I decided to take the trip up to Lick Observatory. It's in San Jose but it's about a 40 minute drive up a huge hill to get there. Spectacular views of the valley.











Annnnd now these are from a trip I took with my parents to Wrightwood.
Apparently, that is Catalina Island/the Pacific Ocean in the far distance.

Me & Ruben went to Eat Real Fest in Oakland. Basically a bunch of food carts/trucks/vendors piled into Jack London Square, lots of focus on eating organically/locally/sustainably. They had workshops & demos throughout the day. Super fun! We basically stuffed our faces...Mexican Chocolate Creme Brulee, Honey Garlic Wings, Korean Tacos, Tikka Masala Burrito, Lavender Coffee...geez there is no way I am going to remember everything. Basically, you should be really jealous if you were not there!
There it go.
