Snacks, strollers, and family fun!

It’s been over a decade since I was in the City of Light, here’s what I’d wear if I were going back.

A couple months ago, we escaped the intense heatwave hitting Sacramento and headed to San Francisco for a touristy day at Pier 39.

Brandon and I celebrated our five (!!) year wedding anniversary a few weeks ago. I’d been itching for a trip to San Francisco so we made the drive down to one of my favorite cities.

We would always spend our anniversary in San Francisco while we were dating and it was really cool to spend a wedding anniversary there too — this time with our little guy!

We embraced a slow pace and stuck to activities we knew wouldn’t overstimulate Isaac. We were able to mostly avoid the crowds and ended up having a really great, truly chill time. Here’s what we did, in case you find yourself heading to San Francisco with a four month old baby!

I don't know what possessed me to want to go to Palm Springs, but whatever it was, I'm glad we went. We spent about 24 hours in the desert and managed to leave refreshed and relaxed! Needless to say, I'm newly obsessed and can't wait to go back.

We've been back from our weekend in Southern California for a while and I keep thinking about nice it was to get out of town. I work most weekends (when Brandon is off) so we haven't gotten a chance to travel in a while and it was nice to have a change of scenery and weather! Plus we got to witness friends get married, which is always fun.

We were able to sneak in a little bit of sightseeing in between Brandon's wedding party duties. Here are some highlights of what we did and what I wore from my minimal packing list.
