{My mom’s paparazzi skills are on point}

Tony’s on hiatus for a few days, so we decided to escape L.A. for northern California for a long weekend. The annual CoachArt gala was held in San Francisco last night, so we bought tickets a few weeks ago… And unfortunately, the night before we left, Tony got food poisoning. (He’s narrowed the source down to a 2-day old protein shake, some juices he had instead of lunch on Wednesday, or a crepe with an entire pint of ice cream stuffed inside of it.) He’s a trooper and still decided to go, so I drove the 6 hours to my parents house to drop our dogs off, then the additional two to San Francisco. We made it to the gala just in time for the New Orleans style marching band, ate a delicious dinner and beamed with pride at our amazing friend killing it at her job of running this amazing organization. Then today, we ate our faces off all over San Francisco. My parents are telling me it’s time to go eat more, so here are some pics of our getaway so far… Happy weekend!

{The saleswoman asked if we’d ever eaten a hot dog. We said yes, and she said that’s grosser than eating crickets. We still couldn’t bring ourselves to do it.}
