Family Holiday Part II

Alas I am finally getting around to posting 

more on our SF family vacation.

The second part of our trip we headed to Stinson Beach and spent

hours playing in the sand and water, 

exploring and soaking up the sun.

I love Stinson Beach because it's not too far from the 

city, and the drive there {although a bit zig-zaggety} is

spectacular with the most breathtaking views.

The other days of our vacation we spent going to the city, 

eating galore, trying out new restaurants, doing our tradition

of eating ice-cream at Ghirardelli's, going to the Jelly Belly

factory and just having fun hanging out with another.

Another successful Santamaria family reunion this year, 

looking forward to the next one!

Family Holiday Part I

Sunday evening after eating dinner
we went to watch the sunset on the Sonoma coast.
It was breathtaking in every way possible.
We all sat around chatting and admiring every second of that sunset.

The next day we headed to the quant town of Sausalito
across the bay from San Francisco.
We walked around, stopped off to eat
some pastries and then went to
their town square.

From there we headed to
Stinson beach...more on that fun later though!

House of Nanking

I had been to House of Nanking a
few years ago when I was
introduced by a friend.

We were rushed as we were
heading to the airport to catch our flight home.
But all I remember was that the food was
the best Chinese food I'd ever had.

The funny thing was I had forgotten
the name of the place, but I remembered
what their sign looked like from the outside.

We were driving around San Francisco while
there and I saw it and gasped out loud
because I was so happy.

Naturally we had to go and partake
of that delicious goodness.
This time we had more time to really
enjoy the food and the experience of it all.

Everything on their menu was fresh and delicious.
Now that I remember the name, I'll
be heading back every time I visit the foggy city.
