Just a walk in the Park

... Golden Gate park that is! With a thirst for adventure, and lattes from Starbucks, D and I explored the park today... well at least 1/5 of it. It's a pretty big park. With the occasional re-directional assistance from D's i phone, we spent hours wandering and taking in the sights. We saw cute couples picnicking, turtles, lots of different trees and plants, statues, and a super sweet gathering of talented roller-skaters. Seriously you have to give props to the people of the city who take the time to practice and share their passion for roller skating. I admit I wish it had been a bit sunnier, but it was nice to stretch the legs and breath in some (sort of) fresh air! 

Pretty view looking back at the Botanical Gardens

Me trying to imitate this funky tree. The name: Monkey Puzzle... awesome!

D looking pretty, rockin her new sunnies from Old Navy!

Me, my new sunnies from Old Navy, and the fake waterfall. 

The Little Mermaid... but where's flounder?

My new boyfriend Rob. He's an Irish Patriot.

Roller-skaters zipping around to some fly tunes. Oh yeah, I said fly.

 

DNL, over and out... for now anyways. 

California Casual Chic

So before our day of errand running (including the DMV, yuck!) D asked the question, how should we dress? I said, how about California casual chic; whatever that means to you. We dug through our closets, combined new and old garments and pulled out the H&M sunnies we bought a few months ago.

 

PS: Did I mention we are really goofy and LOVE food? Ok, well we do, and I will be sure to let you know where we go and what we think, that is if you are interested. 

 

Dino's Pizza on Filmore St is pretty delish. The outdoor seating option drew us in to look at the menu, and the smell of the pizza forced us to sit down. Their crust is crispy like a cracker (pardon my alliteration) which allows toppings to be piled sky high, but doesn't really add to the flavor. Overall we gave it a 7.5 rating.

Phase Two

I would like to introduce you to a new phase in my life in San Francisco... and trust me, things are about to get a lot more interesting. Meet one of my very best friends, D. We get dressed up, we drink, we dance... and we have a hell of a great time! Pictured above is our most recent "girls nights out" to SATC2, naturally. We're just two "new to the city" girls who go with the flow. When Nick's Crispy Taco's on Polk Street said "cash only" we said we'd go to the cool Thai place across the street. We have many challenges and adventures planned for this summer... details to follow, stay tuned!
