I was excited to find an art show going on in Union Square last weekend.

And really, could they have found better peeps to be their Master of Ceremonies ?

 

Not too far away we got to enjoy more eye candy...these super fit tap dancers. 

We made a little pit stop through China Town.

 

And then we headed across the street for a yummy brunch. Guess who rounded

out our party of three?

My blogger friend, Courtney! You all know him from his blog, Courtney Outloud.

 He is a local, and was kind enough to act as tour guide for the day and share all kinds

of great nuggets of area info. We met through the blog a year ago and when we

were panning the trip, I emailed him asap!

 

{thank-you, cute friend, for spending the day with us!}

 We made our way through the Financial District and then on to the Ferry Building.

 

Inside were all kinds of great places, including this lovely bakery that I have only ever admired from other blogs...

I still am enamored with the wallpaper...

Then we were off to Fishermans Wharf

There were lots of lazy sea lions and no shortage of beautiful colorful fruits.

And imagine my excitement when we walked over to Ghirardelli Square and found this party going on:

There were blocks {bu-laaaucks} of tents sheltering {incredible} chocolate companies

offering their wares. We’re talking chocolate coconut milk, chocolate vodka, chocolate

sundaes, chocolate fudge--you get the idea…

You best believe that we got in line for tickets for this shindig.

1 ticket allowed you 15 samples from all the different tents.

We sampled 30 {thirty}. I'm not proud, just a few pounds heavier {and happier}.
