I love this! And it looks like such a fun trip! ๐
I really love this post Liz. It looks like you had such a wonderful trip and I think you and Alex are so sweet together. I’m a bit jealous that you were out in California (it looks just beautiful this time of year); however, I enjoyed reading about it too ๐ I just love San Fran!
This was so fun!! I love the “selfies attempted” and “successful selfies”! Chris always makes fun of me because whenever I take selfies of us, it always involves at least 3 tries. And I even have a forward facing camera option on my phone!
Also, you guys are adorable.
Y’all are so cute and fun! I joke all the time that Ryan (my husband) puts up with me a lot, but it’s true ๐ So when you find that guy that willingly puts up with you… He’s a keeper!
What a wonderful vacation! <3
Haha this post is too cute! Love all the chocolate goodies… mmmmm ๐
You were in my neck of the woods! Looks like you guys had a blast and glad you made it home safely!
Aw, the first vacation is the best! So glad to hear you guys had a great time!
It was so fun ๐ I’m looking forward to many more!
How FUN! Its truly seems like you and Alex had an awesome time and I can’t wait to get more deets! The weather in San Fran is sure deceiving, right?! I’ve been there in August almost froze my tush off, but when I was there in April is was 75 and I was sweating from the heat. Such bipolar weather!
Yeah it was so crazy! It was beautiful, just a little chillier than I was expecting!
I love this! Looks like you guys had a blast! And I love that you used Groupon for some restaurants. My mom is a Groupon junkie….or addict. ๐
Haha it was perfect for being in a new city, since we didn’t really know where to go anyway! Groupon made the decision easier ๐
