SANTA CRUZ + SAN FRAN

The past couple days I have the opportunity to go on a little work/fun trip with my co-workers.
We went out to the Bay Area to work/visit some of the Google campuses and it was definitely an experience I will never forget!
(I will post all the Google pics soon! UNREAL!)
The offices were INCREDIBLE and I seriously can’t button my pants anymore after all the amazing meals we ate….. but that’s what vacations are for, am I right?
(has anyone seen the Jim Gaffigan skit when he talks about how all you ever do on vacation is eat? hahaha that is truly how it is)
On Sunday+Monday we basically toured around Santa Cruz and San Francisco and did a little bit more of the touristy things.
Has anyone ever been down to Santa Cruz?
I love everything about that little surf town!
(All seals are alive and well if any of you are stressing)

 

 

Mmmm a little beach sunset is solid for the soul.

 

 

Then Monday morning we headed over to Google Campus in Mountain View and off to the San Francisco office we went!
I have no words for how amazing that office is…
I WOULD CRY REAL BIG TEARS IF THIS WAS MY VIEW EVERYDAY.
I am a sucker for waterfront views!

 

 

NERD ALERT
Am I the only one who Googles facts about everywhere I go?
You betcha once we pulled up to the bridge I had my phone open & was asking my car group…..
“When was this bridge built?”
“How tall is it?”
“How long did it take to finish?”
“Why did they built it”
etc etc. and seeing who got the closest.
It makes traveling so much more memorable for me + I learn some fun new facts!

 

However I didn’t Google how many calories were in this baby.
Some things are better un-Googled.

 

I have only ever seen Union Sqaure around Christmas time and I’m not mad about it!
Last time was our San Fran trip with our friends!

 

I’m also not mad about the fact I was able to go grab a bite to eat with my babe friend Lo!
She lives in Palo Alto and we grabbed some deeeelicious pizza together followed by donuts.

 

and then the entire trip was topped off when I found my new favorite restaurant in the airport…
Why didn’t anyone ever tell me how dang good this place is?!
