Benjie and I spent the 4th at Hugo’s annual 4th of July Festivities. The GCS family was there as well as a special visit from Rime’s family in New Jersey.

and his awesome family! His mom Jackie is the best. Good times were had all around.

We are easily amused by beer caps.

Everyone approved of my delicious chocolate chip cookies.

While in San Francisco, we were able to meet up with Benny Gold and check out his new design studio and future flagship store. We also got a mini tour of the Mission District. It was such a pleasure and I can’t wait to go back to SF and visit the new store. Thanks Benny!
