She Travels Up North

We have a family tradition to go up to San Francisco during the holidays to see the Nutcracker and strolls the streets for good eats and shopping. It is a trip I look forward to every year and this year was no exception. I'm happy to say we ate, drank, and enjoyed ourselves the whole time. I'm a true LA girl at heart, but I do have a special nook carved out for San Francisco. To me, it's a mini NY filled with tall buildings and bustling crowds where I can get my big-city fix without traveling across the country. San Franciscoooo, open your golden gates (and I will definitely come back)!

  5. I have never been to San Fran but have always desperately wanted to go. It looks like such a lovely and festive place to be during the holidays and if there is a production of the Nutcracker on, even better! :)
