vacanza!

Tomorrow, A. and I are leaving for august vacanza! yipee!

But first, we are heading to my home, NYC, to see family and friends.
Then it's off to the west coast for an 11 day northern california adventure. We will be visiting my best friend in San Fran\Marin County with some mini road trip adventures, here and here.
It's my first time to Northern California, so you can imagine, I am super excited, especially for the forest and chillaxing with my best friend, kira.

I have my little list of places to see in the city but would love love love any recommendations?
