Haight Ashbury, San Francisco, CA

Visiting Haight Ashbury is always a treat. They have tons of little eclectic shops, thrift stores and yummy eateries. We had a great time walking in and out of the stores and experiencing a little of the 60s that still resides in the Haight.

I recommend the Asqew Grill for lunch and for dessert Coco-luxe! Try the chocolate dipped honeycomb!

I have a permit!

I visited city hall while we were in Carmel and got a permit to wear high heels in the city limits. I'm legal now!

Carmel, California

My favorite city in America, Carmel, California. There is nothing like seeing the sunset on the beach in Carmel and then walking back up the hill to choose which restaurant to try. The city is full of art galleries, boutiques and delicious restaurants, bars and bakeries.

Driving down Highway 1

Bixby Bridge

Driving down Highway 1 is a must when you are in the area. Make sure you stop at the Big Sur River Inn for lunch on the patio.

September 11, 2011

On September 11th we woke up on the 15th floor of the Hyatt in downtown San Francisco. There were memorials going on all over town. I loved opening the window and seeing our American flag flying proudly from the tops of the skyscrapers.

Later that day we headed to Carmel and saw this beautiful sculpture holding our awesome flag.

What a great country we live in!
