There and Back Again

I’m back from San Fran and still reeling from the two cross-country flights in 3 days, jet lag, time differences and Daylight Savings. I’m pretty tired and glad to be home. It’s hard to believe that it was just yesterday morning when I was at the farewell brunch at Perry’s with Mama Pea, Ashley and Megan.  I had such a wonderful weekend with these ladies. I even shed a few tears when I said goodbye! My goodness!

The Foodbuzz Festival felt pretty different than this year.  I didn’t recognize nearly as many people as I did last year but still met many lovely bloggers. I really enjoyed the the two Foodbuzz sessions that I attended – Ashley’s photo session “Moving Out of Manual” and the Q&A panel that Mama Pea was on, talking about taking your blog to the next level. Thank you Foodbuzz for coordinating the events and a HUGE thank you to Alaskan Seafood for sponsoring me to attend!

Once I recover from my trip a bit more, I’ll post some more (better quality) pictures. In the meantime, here are some iPhone shots from the weekend!

Ashley is a pro at self-photos with the iPhone, even while walking through the streets. 

It was fun getting dressed up for the Gala Dinner and watching Tyler Florence do a cooking demo…

But the best part was laughing hysterically all night. If you follow Mama Pea, Ashley, Megan or me on Twitter, you know that we were, as one follower put it, “in rare form on Saturday night.” Tipsy tweeting at its best. We were cracking up!

And equally as fun was taking off my heels at the end of the night.

On Sunday morning, we hit the farewell breakfast at Perry’s. I really did have the best weekend roomies ever.

And the best almost-roomie, Megan. We had so much fun together last year and I was so glad to see her again this year.

Even occupiers couldn’t ruin the beautiful San Fran day.
