I am twirling for summer vacation! Two of my three kids had graduations this spring, and one of my kids is away for summer abroad. This is a great summer for all three of my children, which makes it a fabulous summer for me! Love!

In addition, my fabulous friend Dawn from Fashion Should be Fun has retired, so this twirl is for her too! To celebrate, we decided to meet up and enjoy lunch from the new Sushi Burrito window inside the food court at Valley Fair. It is similar to Sushirrito, so I definitely loved it! The fusion between sushi and burritos is the combo we didn’t know we needed but actually need! Yum!

I originally purchased this dress to wear to my son’ graduation, which was held outside on the football field. But, I have found I love reaching for it and styling it in different ways. For outside events, it’s great with sandals and my straw handbag. For a lot of walking, boots and my Chloe Marcie offer the perfect casual look combined with practical comfort. Since this dress is available in other prints and colors, I might have to pick up a second one for the summer season! Love that!

It’s been beautiful in the city lately! This means we have enjoyed the ideal weather for dining on a rooftop. Love!

My daughter heard about Shelby’s Rooftop in the SOMA area of San Francisco. It is located inside the Hilton across from Yerba Beuna Gardens. Since my son had just graduated, we decided to celebrate with a rooftop dinner in the city.

The location is perfect for a relaxing evening in SOMA. We parked at 5th & Mission Garage and walked about one block to the restaurant. Shelby’s is located inside the Hilton, so it’s easy to find on the top floor of the building. The restaurant itself has an indoor dining area with large windows and an outdoor patio. Of course, we had reserved a patio table.

While the patio table offered views, the set-up was more bar/lounge-like versus dinner-like. It was awkward to eat dinner on the outside tables. I’m not sure why they serve dinner on them. My daughter ended up putting her entree on her lap to eat. This was not ideal. You can see the table size. We had three, low tables and five people in our sitting area. Next time we go, we will sit inside where the normal tables are located.

That being said, the food was delicious! We all enjoyed our entrees and would definitely love to go back. Yum!

After dinner, we walked across the street to Yerba Beuna Gardens. It wasn’t crowded and we were able to enjoy the art and nice weather.

After enjoying the gardens, we went inside the Metreon and enjoyed some boba. If you are looking for a relaxing evening in SOMA, I recommend popping into Shelby’s Rooftop and then enjoying Yerba Beuna Gardens.
