San Francisco Honeymoon.

We heart San Francisco.  From the restaurants, the shops, the numerous little neighborhoods that make the city so unique...we love it all.  It's one of our all time favorite places to visit and in our opinion, a perfect little spot to honeymoon.  

No trip to San Francisco is complete without a stroll though Chinatown.  We suggest walking down the streets, trying some of the local fresh veggies, and ducking in to a few of the local shops.

Grab a cappuccino at Cafe Greco in North Beach.  The food and coffee drinks are great, but we love to go there to people watch out of the large windows.

Are you a foodie?  There are a million little restaurants always popping up in the city.  Check out yelp for the latest reviews.

And when you're finally ready to lay your head down at night, check out Hotel Vitale.  This hotel screams chic luxury.  The downstairs bar/restaurant, Americano, is a local friday night haunt for the financial district's after work crowd.

 

The next morning take a nice stroll to the Ferry Building to try out some local organic food and amazing wines.  And don’t forget to ride one of the cable cars the city is famous for.

A Desert Treat.

The wedding's over and you’re ready to embark on a honeymoon...but you're not quite sure where to head?  You've got to check out this Southern California fave.  

The Ace Hotel in Palm Springs is a.ma.zing!

We were introduced to this place by the lovely Miss Sarah Yates (we celebrated her super cute birthday there).  We’re telling you, this place will not disappoint.  The pool areas are beautiful, the staff is so nice, and the drinks at their Amigo Room bar are delicious (try the King’s Margarita).

And when you’re done lounging at the hotel, check out the mid-century furniture shops that line the streets of downtown.

 As you head out of town (boo hoo), you must grab brunch at the Parker Hotel's breakfast hotspot, Norma's.  We enjoyed a lovely meal there last year, and all we can say is YUM!

Don't forget to spend some time roaming around the insanely gorgeous lobby (designed by Jonathan Adler).  We could literally spend hours there just admiring the decor.  We're definitely ready for a return visit.
