Your Guide to Nice, France Part 1
If you’re planning on making a trip don’t just settle for the closest restaurant. There are plenty of hidden gems with wonderful food, and even better cocktails. We did plenty of browsing on Yelp and Tripadvisor and picked several places that seemed like must-eats. Most reviews on Tripadvisor will even go into detail about how they were treated, the prices, and of course, their favorite dishes. Below are our favorite spots:
Hotel Zelos, A Downtown Destination
Honestly, I think everyone should experience a weekend staycation whenever possible! A few weeks ago I found myself checking into the posh and city-centric Hotel Zelos. The small on the outside, and large on the inside hotel has everything any stay-cationer (or vacationer) could want in a place to stay. Kev and I checked in for a long weekend stay early on a Friday afternoon, with plans to shop, eat, and drink till our heart's content. Another perk of their location is that they offer complimentary parking with with your overnight stay, which in SF is pretty much unheard of!
Beach Weekend
Back to reality! I hope you all had a wonderful 4th of July, it felt more like a vacation and less like an extended weekend. All in all the past few days have centered around relaxed lazy afternoons, and several trips to the beach. Kev and I really wanted to chill and didn’t make too many plans, which allowed us to finally get down to the beach. Living so close it’s hard not to make an excuse to walk down and enjoy a glass of wine. Typically during the summer months I switch from enjoying red to white wine. Some of my go-to favorites are crisp sauvignon blanc and french rosé.
Tropical Themed Engagement party
A little over two weeks ago Kev and I had our engagement party! It was a surreal and truly special event and I’m so grateful for the friends and family who were there to celebrate with us. We wanted to host something that would be relaxed and comfortable for our guest and opted to have a evening cocktail party in my parents backyard.
