September Travels

Early in September we took a trip to San Francisco and Sacramento. Taking the kids to SF turned out to be not the greatest idea we've ever had, but the city was beautiful. Can't wait to go back someday! In Sacramento, we spent time with Nate & Jennifer and Memaw & Pepaw. The highlight was when we went out on the town with Nate & Jen to enjoy authentic Neapolitan pizza and coffee.

City View Dim Sum, probably our favorite meal of the SF trip.

There were shops & shops of strangle dried products in Chinatown

authentic Italian desserts at Caffe Grecco

Alcatraz in the background

Riding the rails

Ritual Coffee

And the bridge of course!
