At the BART station in Pleasant Hills. Watch out San Francisco!

All my years visiting SF, I don't think I've ever taken a picture with the heart sculpture.

This Zoe, Priya's niece. The best quote of our trip came from her, "OH Sarah, you have Princess Jasmine pants." (in regards to my VS Pink sweats, that gather at the calves)

Ferry Building Marketplace in Embarcadero. MUST. VISIT. BOCCALONE. Meaty goodness.

Priya and I at the Irish Pub by our hotel. We got lucky... dueling pianos taking requests from the crowd + entire bar singing + semi decent hot guys + and magners OH magners.

San Francisco.... one my favoritest places. After my previously scheduled vacay to disneyland got cancelled, my roomie Priya suggest to reroute the trip to SF for some roomie fun. (How blessed I am to have friends like these). It was a super short trip and we crammed as much shopping and eating as we could. We started in Pleasant Hills and stayed with Priya's brother and his family for a couple of days. Priya's niece Zoe is ADORABLE! She asked me what my favorite color was EVERY 15 minutes. Too cute. Our last two days was spent in the city! We were able to go to the ferry building marketplace. I got to fulfill my dream of eating at Boccalone (a salami shop, the chef is on Food Network, his Salumi cone was featured on "The Best Thing I Ever Ate" recommended by Tyler Florence). FYI I'm a sucker for the Food Network. I finally got to go to the Marc by Marc Jacobs store, scored a great purse! We also found the time to meet with our cousins (both mine and Priya's) for drinks, as well as squeeze in time with our friend Michelle.  Our last night was spent in an Irish bar close to our hotel, singing along with the entire bar to "Don't Stop Believin'" and "Bad Romance," drinking Magners Irish Cider in 49ers glasses. It was the perfect ending to a great trip. I was so sad to come home.

Thank you to Priya and her entire family, my dad, and the great city of San Francisco. This was exactly what I needed.
