San Francisco - Oakland

I love to visit the Bay Area and the Simpsons.  This time, I took Jenna and Shannon along as we needed to find a grad dress for Jenna and a bridesmaids dress as well for Kaitlin and Ryan's rapidly approaching wedding (May 4th).  I also had to find a 'Mother of the Bride' dress, which is a new experience for me!  We had a lot of fun getting mani's and pedi's and getting our hair done at The Paul Mitchell School of Hair...a regular stop when I visit.  We also went up to the Oakland Temple to see the beautiful Temple and the grounds with all the beautiful flowers!  I did a photo shoot with the Shrago family in Piedmont and had a wonderful time.


My main camera was in Toronto for regular servicing and wasn't going to be back in time for the trip, so I rented a camera and some lenses from a company in the States that shipped it right to Michelle's before I even arrived!  I used it for the photo shoot and took it with us on our expeditions and then shipped it back before we left for home.  It worked out beautifully and I loved 'playing' with some of the new lenses I rented as well.  I took this orange picture in Michelle's kitchen.  These oranges are from her friend's orange tree.  Ahhhh, California.
