Honeymoon: San Francisco

San Francisco Honeymoon | Beauty and Blooms

I hope you all had a lovely Labor Day Weekend! I took advantage of the three-day weekend to get a jump start editing our honeymoon photos (we took a road trip of the California coast!) I will be releasing them in batches – the first featuring our time in San Francisco.

*For all of you waiting for our wedding photos, they will be released in the upcoming weeks as our photographer is still in the process of editing them!

Ian and I started our honeymoon by flying into San Francisco. We decided to forgo the headache of renting a car in the city and took full advantage of the metro. Our hotel was in the Marina district and we fell in love with Blue Barn – we ate there two nights in arrow!

Since this was not our first time in the City we did not rush around to hit all of the tourist attractions. However, we did take the trek up Lombard St. and visited Chinatown and Union Square to do a bit of shopping.

Since we brought our tripod along on this trip, we decided to retake a few of our “couple” photos at the Painted Ladies and Golden Gate bridge. Let me tell you – the tripod was life changing! While we couldn’t escape the San Francisco fog, the tripod allowed us to take photos together that looked great the first time around. All you selfie takers out there will know how rare that is!

Here are a few shots I took while walking around the City. Thankfully Ian has grown accustom to my frequent stops to get a few shots:) Leaving San Francisco was bittersweet. It is an amazing city full of unique neighborhoods, boutique shops, and delicious food.

Ian and I are traveling home this weekend for our wedding! I can not believe it is finally here. It has been a long year full of preparations and stressful nights, but we couldn’t be happier to start the next chapter in our life. I thought it would be fitting to share a few photos from the past four years and celebrate how far we have come.

*Seeing as I will be occupied with the wedding and honeymoon, the next few weeks will be filled with pre-scheduled posts. Stay tuned for wedding updates or follow me on Instagram (@sjbreunig)

Tower Rock Farmstead Bakery

On a recent trip back home we woke up early and made the scenic country drive to the Tower Rock Farmstead Bakery. It is a quaint little bakery nestled between acres of farm land and the picturesque rock formations. We made quite a haul, bring home muffins, cookies, and cinnamon rolls for the family. My favorite purchase was homegrown and milled pastry and bread flour. For a few dollars above what you would pay at the grocery store, I was able to bring home locally grown flour. If you are ever in the Sauk City area, this is a must!
