How We Roll...

How We Roll...

I believe one of the top pleasures in my life happens to be eating; followed by the very close second top pleasure of drinking, preferably vodka or wine.  When you put the two together there isn't much that I will complain about, especially if everything is done right.  My family and I spent the entire day last Saturday doing just that-- making merriment up and down the streets of Santa Clara county.   Because I don't get a chance to talk to my cousins or aunt very much when I'm away, my mother and I always make it a point to hook up with them to do some family bonding and  take a day trip somewhere in the bay area.  This time we started at the Food and Wine Festival in Sunnyvale before making our way over to University Ave in Palo Alto.


I've always loved the area near Stanford with its cute local boutiques speckled along its tree lined avenues, the perfect cover for shopping and dining al fresco.


The restaurant, Pasta? Trattoria Italian Bar had the best pesto penne pasta and raspberry lemon drop martini...  È squisito! Our server was so jovial and warm... this place is definitely worth checking out again. Their happy hour was equally sweet with martinis and small plates for only $5.00 each.  

After a long day of shopping and hanging out we had to hit up the mother of all cupcake bakeries... my all time fav...

The perfect ending to a sweet day!
