There are many ways to enjoy the Golden Gate and this iconic San Francisco sight can be experienced by merely driving across the bridge. This is something I've frequented to and from my trips to Santa Rosa, however, you can't really appreciate the size and height unless you walk on it- but why walk when you can bike or even better- ROLLERBLADE! At 1.7 miles in length, this is completely doable and on a nice sunny day you can witness the magnitude of this beautiful span and see why it's the most photographed bridge in the world.
And here's a Golden Gate Bridge fun fact: Since many people question why the bridge is anything but golden, the actual paint color of the bridge is International Orange, contrary to the red finish. The term Golden Gate refers to the Golden Gate Strait which is the entrance to the San Francisco Bay from the Pacific Ocean.

I used to love rollerblading as a kid and this by far is a fun spot to glide through and enjoy breathtaking views of the city.

We had dinner at Katana- Ya on Geary in Union Square. This place is a busy Japanese restaurant that can feel a bit crowded but this small spot has a cute and a homey feel. It's known for being a famous Ramen House in SF but since I'm always on the hunt for the best dragon roll, that was my order and I will definitely come back next time around to try the noodles. There can be a bit of a wait but I think it's worth it and so is the cold plum sake- I've never had sake chilled before and it's absolutely delicious! The service is fast, the prices are very reasonable, and it's in a great location downtown that's open late so if you're in the area you should definitely check it out.
There are many clubs, bars and lounges nearby and we started off the night at Vessel, located at Campton Place between Stockton and Grant. We then swung by Slide adjacent to the famous Ruby Skye on Mason and ended our night at Harlot located on Minna where we had a blast. All venues have a nice, trendy, and hip vibe that played Hip Hop/Top 40/Mash ups. It was a fun fun night with the gals in the city and the color of the night seemed to be blue! :)

We had a late lunch at Fuzio, a universal bistro, located on Chestnut in the Marina district in San Francisco.
I really love this area and it's just as fun in the day as it is at night to stroll around this neighborhood filled with a ton of shops and restaurants.
I ordered the carrot-ginger soup and a tuna melt with a mixed green salad. This is an excellent meal if you're looking for a hearty soup that has a little kick to it and a panini style tuna melt that tastes extra fresh.
This city is a great destination that I can never get sick of and I always enjoy exploring new places to eat and sights to see. I love San Francisco and everything it has to offer. :)

Speaking of motherhood, here's my favorite fashionable celebrity mother who is pregnant once again. Nicole Richie graced the cover of the April edition of Glamour UK Magazine, BlackBook Magazine, was featured in Vivi Magazine and also showed off her baby bump at Space 15 Twenty in Hollywood for the "What Comes Around Goes Around" fall 2009 collection.
I love her style and everything about her.. She recently launched her fun jewelry collection,
