Les Miz, San Fran & GFree Heaven!

Hi Friends,

Hope you had a lovely weekend.  Our little trip to San Francisco was great!  However, it was off to a rocky start - Thurs night I had some sort of nasty tummy bug and hubby woke up the next morning with his back out.  We were quite the pair!  But we pushed through and decided to head to SF despite our ailments. I'm so glad we did!  We both ended up feeling better and had a wonderful time.

Les Miserables was amazing.  The cast was incredibly talented and the set design was stunning.  What a great night!  We grabbed dinner before the show at a cute little restaurant a few blocks away from the theater called Soluna - I had a seriously delicious gfree Grilled Chicken Risotto and hubby had a steak.  Yummy!

Our day in the city was so much fun - it was a beautiful day - sunshine and all!  We did lots of walking and eating of course.  I fell in love with a gluten free bakery called Mariposa - amazing!  I'm kicking myself now for not stocking up on some of their goods.  I will most certainly be back.  And we got to experience a cup of coffee from the popular Blue Bottle.

See for yourself...

{Mariposa - I'm seriously in LOVE!}

{My breakfast sandwich - gfree roll with cream cheese, smoked salmon, sprouts and red onion.  I'm salivating just thinking about this...}

{Bay Bridge - what a gorgeous day we had!}

Thanks for wishing us a nice weekend - it was nice indeed.  Looking forward to the posts to come this week.

Welcome to new friends/readers.  So happy to have you visit PPS!  I'm pretty good about commenting back, so if you leave something, come back within a day or so and see what I had to say back!

Hope your week is off to a great start!

Oh Sister!

Sadly, sister fun is over till May.  We dropped her off at the airport this morning and as we drove away, I felt the sting of distance.  Having her here for the past two weeks has really made me long for my family.  In Florida, I was just a few streets down from them.  Now, I'm a $600 plane ticket and a full 10 hr travel day away.  It puts a lump in my throat.  Hubby and I are so so so grateful for all of the wonderful opportunities that have come from this move, and we're so confident that this is what we've been praying for, but it's not easy.

On a more positive note, we did SO much while she was here!  I was finally able to play tourist with someone {hubby is working lots and still adjusting to his new schedule}.  Here are a few photos from our adventures....

We had two fantastic weeks together and I'm looking forward to our reunion in May.  Until then, it's back to my routine.  Hello workouts - I've missed you!

San Fran...

We're headed to San Francisco today! 

We officially have the keys to our new place and we're headed to San Fran to do some furniture shopping.  {It's so fun having a city so close!  This small-town, southern girl is beside herself.}  Happy Saturday!
