In October, I found some killer deals on airfare, so L and I decided (well mostly I told L) that we were going to go visit my sister and brother in-law in San Francisco in January. We started out planning the trip from January 5th to the 10th, but then L found out he was doing a sales blitz in Sacramento the first week in January so he figured he would just drive to San Francisco after his blitz, then we would explore San Francisco for the week, and then he would drive down to L.A. to go on the cruise he one last year selling. I know he is spoiled! I decided not to go on the cruise because M.J. is still nursing and you aren't allowed to bring babbies under the age of six months, which is dumb but I have been on a view crusies so I wasn't to upset. However I was very nervous about flying by myself with M.J. I was so worried that I was going to be that lady with the screaming baby on the plane that screamed the whole trip. But luckily, M.J. did awesome. He did fuss a little bit during take off and landing, but other than that he was an angel! I was so lucky!

We had so much fun visiting my sister and brother-inlaw, we did and saw so much it was awesome! Mainly I was just so happy to spend time with them though because it had been almost 5 months sense I had seen my brother-inlaw and he is one of my best friends so I was so so so excited just to hang out with him. We did lots and lots of shopping, when he and I get together we are just like The Real Housewives, Lol except he is a house husband. We definatly ate a lot too, boy there are a lot of delicious places to eat in San Francisco. We tried a new place everyday and no place dissapointed. I should have taken pictures of all the food we ate, but alas it was gone much to quickly to take a picture. On the first day I was there we explored Nob Hill and stoped at Grace Cathedral and took some pictures.
The we walked down to Union Square to do some shopping of course and we found this adorable owl hat for M.J. We ate lunch at the rotunda in Nieman Marcus and it was beautiful, and not to mention the bread was to die for!
We ate on the top floor of this gorgeous building. Then of course we did more shopping lol. Union Square is amazing there are so many stores and many of the stores even have duplicate stores. M.J. did amazing the whole trip he was such a trouper being carried around everywhere and messing up his schedule. Here are some more pictures from Union Square.

We had to stop at Toast first to energize up! It was amazing! |

Another day we decided to ride the Trolley, sense we couldn't leave San Francisco without saying we did that. We also went down to Union Square again to do more shopping lol.
