Tutu & Jami Take NYC.

a few months ago, (i'm soo behind) we had some amazing people visit us.
jeff's mother jami and his grandmother tutu!
tutu came all the way from hawaii and jami from utah. 
we had so much fun showing them around this city of ours. 
i still can't believe how much we packed into their few days here.

most days we walked for 8-10 hours straight…
jeff's sweet grandmother is 86 years old and a power house.
nothing phased her, she was always ready to go and explore.
we are so grateful for the chance we had to spend time with jami and tutu.
we sure love you guys!

 some highlights from their time here:
my mom was able to get us vip passes to the top of the empire state building.
we felt pretty special skipping the lines and seeing ny from the 102 floor!
this view is like no other.
manhattan is one of a kind and so beautiful!
while we waited to go to the top, jami and tutu got a little carried away playing ping pong! ;) 
^^ she's amazing! ^^
we visited brooklyn for the best pizza at juliana's.
they loved the met and especially the met rooftop.
later that night we saw wicked (the best show ever!) and times square.
we explored most central park.
late night walks to the east river.
world trade center memorial.
delicious brunch at alice's tea cup.
washington square park.
and peoples pops on the highline!

San Fran, I Love You.

 just recently, i visited my sister jamie and little nephew august in san francisco. 
we spent a lot of time at the beach, over looking the beautiful golden gate bridge.
we frequented multiple parks and played for hours.
swim class was too much fun with august in a bright pink swim suit.
we spent an afternoon at the farmers market, enjoying lunch and delicious produce.
i discovered my love for bi-rite ice-cream and proved it by eating a scoop (or two) everyday!
jamie took me to ragazza every other day because it's the best pizza we've ever had.
my good friend amanda stayed with us for a few days and we loved having her.
we went on a long bike ride through golden gate park in the pouring rain.
(manda is up for anything, i love it!)
jamie was the best host and showed us all around town.
i have to say my favorite part of the trip was spending time with my nephew, 
who i swear is the cutest little 1 year old i've ever known. 
it was a wonderful week and i'm missing them so much.
i'm already scheming a plan to visit again soon!
