<\/a><\/figure>\nA week ago, we visited our son and daughter-in-law in the East Bay. This was the line at the bakery before it opened. My son introduced me to this bakery a few years ago. Now when we stay at the Claremont, I make it to the bakery which is across the street, before it opens and they sell out of the most delicious croissants.<\/p>\n A couple times, they sold out of my favorite ham and Manchego cheese croissants just as I was next in line! Also, they serve sandwiches a few days a week and I\u2019ve never been lucky enough to buy one because they sell out, too.<\/p>\n Yum! Fortunately there are plenty of other tasty items to choose from when my favorites are sold out. I went every morning and was thankful for the steep walk down the hill from the hotel. It made me feel less guilty making the steep walk up the hill to the hotel with a bag full of treats.<\/p>\n One of the highlights of our trip was the food! The first night we went to a Mediterranean restaurant with our son. Night two, I treated my son and DIL to a famous French restaurant. And besides the hotel that has amazing food, we went to Nob Hill in San Francisco for Italian. All were delicious. But now I\u2019m so spoiled nothing sounds good to eat at home.<\/p>\n But the biggest highlight of all was spending time with my son and daughter-in-law including a trip to Sonoma and this park in Fairfax with redwoods.<\/p>\n You can read more about my trip HERE<\/a> and HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n What are your plans for this week?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/a><\/figure>\n
