Over the Memorial Day long weekend I headed up to San Francisco and Napa Valley for a much needed getaway. I’ve been wanting to visit this area of California since I moved to L.A. almost 7 years ago, so it’s pretty ridiculous that it’s taken me this long to get up there! But as they say, better late than never. Plus, I couldn’t have been with better people to show me the ropes for my first trip, so it was all meant to be.
I ended up taking a bunch of pictures on my camera as well as some on my iphone, which turned out to be a bit of an organizational mess. I might eventually post some from my camera, but in the meantime here’s a few that I snapped on Instagram (Why didn’t I invent that thing?!):
The Adventure Begins…
