my heart is full after experiencing the girls trip of my dreams with claire, jessie, and my twinkie marianne in San Francisco!
my sweet claire was a most gracious hostess, sharing the magic of the bay area with all of us (and if you've been to SF, you know there's so much to see it's impossible to cram it into 4 days). Even though jessie and us twins go back to college, all of us together felt like we had been close girlfriends for years. In fact, the first night we were all together we stayed up drinking wine and sharing life stories til 4 a.m. (which really was like 6 a.m. to marz & jessie)!
and that's pretty much how every night was... one giant sleepover swooning over Jax Teller (claire introduced us to the amazingness that is "sons of anarchy").
(sporting my Tumbleweeds sunglasses!)
jessie is a true hippie at heart that it was a dream come true for her to be walking around Haight and Ashbury. We passed Mom's Body Shop Tattoos and Piercings and as soon as jess heard the tattoo gun, she was in heaven. She had been wanting to get imagine on her foot and on the spot she decided she must get it while on Haight street. isn't it gorgeous? in john lennon's handwriting no less!

pretty sure we sang the Full House song when we saw the Painted Ladies and discussed episodes of Full House like they were people we actually knew! hilarious.
and of course you can't have a girls trip (especially girls who love their wine) without going to Napa Valley! it reminded me so much of Tuscany. We went to Luna, Rubicon Estate (where i purchased Sofia Rose & a pink sofia wine stopper), and felt like rock stars at Larkmead Vineyards.
btw, i love the dress i'm wearing! i bought it at claire's favorite boutique, Ambiance. One of the first things she ever gave me was a headband from there.
i was really smitten drinking coppola wine!

i miss these girls so much! (i already want to start planning our next trip) what a truly amazing time with friends i love so much.

Oh this looks utterly amazing! What a wonderful trip to share together. You all looked like you had a great time and shared many moments.
I adore that pink bag of yours and the dress you bought. x
Girl time and vineyards and a beautiful city? Sounds like a blast! The photos are lovely, and I'm so glad you gals had a trip to remember!
It looks like you had a truly magical time! :-) There is nothing better than drinking wine with your girlfriends, especially if a little travel is involved.
Ohh beautiful! Looks like you had so much fun! Love the beach pictures!
What a fabulous trip! I'm adoring that dress from Ambiance too!
rubicon is the only winery we visited in sonoma back in 2005! [it was niebaumm-coppola then]...loved it!
great pics! wish i was there...
Ohhhhhh Micaela! This makes my whole chest feel warm and yet I'm sad, b/c I am sitting on my couch watching Sons of Anarchy (in season two now and damn has it gotten intense) and missing my girls SO MUCH. What a dream of a trip. I don't think I would change a thing . . . except make it longer. :)
Impressed that you remember everything we ate! And I'll try to think of Scream Sorbet as a good experience despite the trauma I endured there. :(
Love you tremendously and excited by the prospect of seeing you next in Wichita Falls. :) :) :)
I'll call you very soon to discuss SOA. . . get the DVDs immediately; it's riveting now. Plus I just got to see Jax in the shower. Seriously.
This looks absolutely amazing! You guys all look super beautiful. I'm so jealous you got to frolic around such a beautiful city with amazing girlfriends! <3
I love the jumping-on-the-beach photo! And that dress is beautiful!
Do you know if Jessie said the spot where she got her tattoo hurt? I want one there but people tell me getting a tattoo on your foot kills.
Looks like you guys had some fun while visiting Claire. I have to do a wine tour the next time I am there.
Love all these pics and am so jealous of you. Looks like you all had a fabulous time and got plenty of memories to keep (only a little jealous here).
It all looks and sounds fabulous! Glad you had such a great time together (as if there was ever any doubt!)
Brandi (of Not Your Average Ordinary) arrives here from San Diego next week. I'm so excited to finally meet in real life!
looks like you did it up right! I worked in the city for almost 7 years, this post made me a bit nostalgic!
This looks like so much fun! I love all the photos!
I may have wee'd a little in excitement when I saw the Full House house!!
