San Francisco

This past week Mr. Seymour and I decided to head out West to not-so-sunny California and venture the winding roads and scenic views. We landed in Oakland where I soon realized it was the actual "Home of the Raiders". {not much surprise here since I'm not much of an ESPNer}

With bags in tow we drove along the bridges of San Fran and landed at our small humble adobe where we would call home for the next couple of days.

Here's our list of things to you HAVE to do:

  1. Stand at Alamo Park and see the view of the "Painted Ladies" and downtown
  2. Take a quick pic of the actual Full House {this was on the bucket list}
  3. Drive down Lombard St.
  4. Drive the roads of the car racing scenes from the movie, "Bullitt"
  5. Stand like a local on the outside of a trolley
  6. Eat at Pier 39
  7. Check out Chrissy Field near Golden Gate Bridge
  8. Devour the roasted brussel sprouts from the restaurant Social Kitchen and Brewery
  9. Segway it through Golden Gate Park {where you can spend a whole day}

If we would've had more time Alcatraz would be a must.

From there, we drove down the 101 and stopped in Santa Cruz to visit Delaveaga Park where Mr. Seymour could hit up a few Disc Golf Baskets and I could practice... again and again and again.

:)

We ended that last few days in Monterrey to play golf, check out some wineries and indulge in a few adult beverages.

Spring break only gets better with age.

 

Until next time. Peace. Love. Pictures.

Scarves by Structured KC

I can’t stop applauding my dear friend/talented designer Antoinette Hanke of @structuredkc

Her scarves are one of a kind. Lots of time, attention to detail and love go into each handmade scarf. I had the privilege of checking out her new studio and seeing where all the magic happens! She is not only a skilled #ladyboss, but an admirable woman as well. She is passionate at what she does and it shows in her high quality, polished shawls. Check her and her work out @structuredkc, follow her on her Instagram and good luck picking your favorites!

Until next time. Peace. Love. Pictures.

Jeremy & Kari

Growing up she was the best friend you made memories with that seem as if they only happened yesterday. We lived at each others' houses on the weekends where we played, dreamed and where absolutely no boys were ever allowed.

Many years have passed since then and although our childish dreams have shifted my best friend, the one I call my sister, has found the one she's been searching for all along.

She found him. He found her. They found each other.

She has never smiled or laughed so hard and only a special person is able to make that happen. Kari and Jeremy, here's to you and your forever.

Cheers!

Until next time. Peace. Love. Pictures.
