Sonoma County Travel Guide
Sonoma County will blow you away with its beauty, food, hospitality, and of course, wine. To be completely honest with you, I think it might be my favorite part of California! Although I loved other areas, Sonoma County just had a strong, community feel to it. You could tell that everyone loved hard and really loved not only the people around them but the city, as well. It was just an amazing time and I cannot wait to go back as soon as I possibly can. We were only in Sonoma County for two days, ...

San Francisco Travel Guide: What to do, see, and eat in SF
San Francisco is one of those places that everyone loves and raves about. There is something for everyone and it is a really interesting city to travel to and explore. Ian and I visited San Francisco on April 18th, in order to celebrate the end of tax season and we had a blast! We stayed for a total of three nights and fit in as much as we possibly could during our time there. Although we were not there for a long time, I do think that we have a pretty good understanding of the city and we found ...
