Wow it's May, where did April go, oh that's right April was spent doing what I do best, travelling! First trip on the agenda... good ol San Francisco. My mom and her sisters were taking a sister trip to visit my cousins Chels and BJ's newest addition to the Agbayani family, my second cousin Kaimi. I decided to tagalong for a few days, spend some quality time with the ohana.  We baked, sang karaoke, shopped, and best of all just talked story. It was nice to be surrounded and spoiled by my mom and aunties.
My Auntie Alda lives in Vacaville, which is an hour away from San Francisco, so I didn't get much time in the city. But we did go to Napa to eat at Mustards Grill, which was amazing. My mom and I shared the Mongolian pork chops with garlic mash and it was delish. On our way to Mustards we passed by the French Laundry, I can't wait for the day I'll be able to eat there! Hopefully one day with my parents and sister, or Priya, it has to be with someone equally excited about ridiculously amazing food.
My only day in the city was spent shopping in Union Square, hitting up Nordstrom and Marc by Marc Jacobs. We also visited the ferry terminal market in Embarcadero, one of my favorite places in San Francisco. Got my salumi cone from Boccalone, I love, love, love cured meat!!
My trip was short lived but it was just the little break I needed. Next up... New York City.
