Weekend Recap! :)

This weekend had it's ups and downs, and by downs I mean some big ones, but today we will focus on the ups!

On Saturday I was supposed to meet up with my good friend Katie and her sister Becca who was in town from VA, but plans changed and I still needed to take care of some things in the city -so off Josh and I went!

First Stop: The Westfield on Market St!

It was a beautiful day in the city! :)

They had a smart car exhibit inside! I just had to sit in one!

I love riding the escalators in this mall, the first few floors have curved escalators!! Josh on the other hand... not so much!

While we were there my main order of business was to stop in at Vera Bradley! I picked up a few birthday gifts and then got this cutesy for myself! It is the "Knot Just a Clutch" in the new Very Berry Paisley print - love it! :)

Then we decided to walk to Chinatown on a mission for the Fortune Cookie Factory!

The Chinatown Gate!

Thanks to my iPhone I was able to map out how to find the small alley where the place was!

Found it!

It is a little hole in the wall, but the cookies are so freaking good!

We got a bag of the flat ones and the folded ones with fortunes :)
Great Success!

Then we headed back to Union Square to the parking garage, and saw the cable car!

And Macys!

And Neiman Marcus!

Union Square!

Josh couldn't stop eating the cookies!

When we got back to town we went out to dinner in downtown Santa Rosa, and there was a Lucy on display!

Up close!

Then on Sunday we had our End of the Year work meeting! It was PJ Party Themed and we had a feast of slumber party food!

Such a great weekend despite the few hiccups, but I just keep telling myself everything is meant to be!

My Laborfilled Labor Day Weekend

This weekend I lived at work. I worked Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. Four out of the Five days I was lucky enough to close until 10pm -LOVELY. But thankfully on Friday I got off of work at 5 so I got to have a bit of fun.

Our friends Stephanie and Anthony BBQ'd us steaks for dinner and made some delish potatoes! YUM! After dinner I had Josh hang up my latest decorative purchase that I picked up at Bed Bath and Beyond with my 20% off coupon :) I've been wanting something to hang on the wall in the kitchen and I thought this would be perfect because it is a little different!

Up close of the plates, they are really pretty autumn colors

The kitchen table area with the new addition, don't mind the hideous light fixture haha

Then after we were done hanging the plate art I realized that the box it came in would make a perfect sled. So we headed to the stairs.....

And yes I am wearing Josh's fur hat. When I got to the top of the stairs I realized I should wear some sort of head protection in case my ride took a turn for the worse and the first thing I could find was Josh's hat haha

Then Josh gave it a whirl, only after I did it twice and made it out alive haha

After a few sled rides down the stairs we had a fun game night playing Taboo and Sorry! then followed it up with watching some shows off of our DVR while eating brownies and ice cream :) Overall it was a great night, I just wish I would of had at least ONE more night off this holiday weekend, but ohhhhh well!

I hope you all had a wonderful Holiday weekend!
