Last weekend Justin and I went to San Francisco for the Ghirardelli Chocolate Festival.

On Friday we explored some parts of the city we hadn't seen before. After going through the Haight-Ashbury district, we went to the Conservatory of Flowers. Justin got some gorgeous pics!





We had lunch out on the patio at the Cheesecake Factory on top of Macy's in Union Square.
We had a great view!

The Festival! There were tons of chocolate samples to try. Here I'm eating a mini cupcake from Kara's Cupcakes. So good!



A view of the bay from the Chocolate Festival. It was such a gorgeous, overcast day!

My parents recently came to CA for a visit. We had a lot of fun! Here we are in the lobby of their hotel.



We took in two baseball games while they were here. A Padres/Cardinals game while we were in San Diego, and a Angels/Tigers game (below) in LA. Tigers won!

We all wore Tigers T-shirts with player's names on the back.
I took my parents down to the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The new Maddame Tussauds Wax Museum is there, a new addition, and it was awesome.




The USS Midway. A docked air craft carrier in San Diego. We got to tour the entire ship.




We took a walk along the beach. Here's a pic of us at a fishing pier (below).Here's mom and dad on the bus at the San Diego Zoo.
Shortly after my parents left, the Southern California fires broke out (no relation). I got a few pics of the smoke as we were driving back from Justin's dad's in Lake Arrowhead to my apt. in Hollywood.
