Well, that was a heat wave! What better place to hide from ninety-degree weather in March than the Beach Chalet in San Francisco! I had to go to the city for a meeting anyway, so enjoying a peaceful lunch at the Beach Chalet was a no brainer.

The temperatures rose to the low eighties in the city, but I was still comfortable in jeans and a knit top since we went out to Ocean Beach after our meeting. It was the perfect outfit for a warm spring day in the city. Love!

At the Beach Chalet, they gave us a fabulous table next to the window where we could enjoy the view of the ocean. It was peaceful and relaxing. Something I need right now!

I enjoyed the Mahi Mahi, which might be my new favorite menu item. It was delicious! I also enjoyed their calamari, which we ate as an appetizer, of course!

If you are local to the Bay Area, or plan to visit, be sure to stop into Beach Chalet for a meal. It is a rare, beachside restaurant in the city packed with history, ambiance, and delicious food. One of my favorite places to eat!

Thanks for stopping by and stay tuned for spring coverage!

Winter day in the city

It has been beautiful in the city lately! After the series of storms which hit the Bay Area, the city was clear skies and sunshine. Love!

We decided to enjoy the last of the holiday decorations around Union Square before they were taken down. After shopping at the Nintendo store, we walked around Macy’s to see the beautiful decorations throughout the store. Then we headed over to my husband’s favorite restaurant in the city, John’s Grill.

I enjoyed their lobster ravioli while my husband enjoyed a burger. My kids ate a combination of pasta and burgers. Everything was delicious as usual. Highly recommend.

After lunch, we went back up to Union Square to walk around and enjoy the tree before it gets taken down in the new year. Then, we went back to the car and headed over to the Cliff House for views and exercise. It was the perfect day!

If you are visiting the area, or you are local, I highly recommend enjoying a meal at John’s Grill and also enjoying the scenic paths around Sutro Bath and the Cliff House. You will enjoy it!

Thanks for stopping by!

Levi’s has reopened their corporate museum “The Vault” and also their corporate store. Love! If you live in the Bay Area, this is a fun excursion while you’re visiting the city. More info at LeviStrauss.com.

The current exhibition at The Vault is centered around Levi’s pieces worn by iconic musicians. I am sure you recognized the ones I featured in this post! Love! This exhibit closes in December, but a new one with another theme will open in February. Stay tuned!

The museum is a one-room exhibition, so it only takes about fifteen minutes to visit. Since Levi’s headquarters is by the water and the piers, it is easy to combine other activities with your visit. In addition to visiting the store, there are a few restaurants nearby, the Exploratorium is a five-minute walk away, and more! We enjoyed a delicious lunch at Xica.

Enchiladas at Xica. This restaurant is so good! I can’t wait to go back! Yummy! Highly recommend.

Of course I wore Levi’s jeans to visit Levi’s The Vault. These jeans are classic, comfortable, flattering, and also available in various lengths, making them perfect for petites! Love that!

Although chilly outside, it was a beautiful day in the city. After enjoying lunch at Xica, we walked around the waterfront and enjoyed the fog-free view.

I will watch for the next exhibit and keep you posted! Levi’s a huge part of San Fracisco and fashion history, so I love keeping up with them!

Thanks for stopping by!
