Celebrating Dominique's Birthday in Style

To celebrate Dominique's birthday, four of us gals flew down to San Francisco for a low key time together, devoid of pomp and circumstance.  So naturally, the weekend started at the Sir Francis Drake, ended touring Stanford in Palo Alto, and encompassed the Starlight Room, a customized pair of Manolo Blahnik pumps, and an exclusive members-only tasting at Rams Gate in Sonoma.  Yep, just your average, no-frills kind of weekend. 
We kicked off Friday night at the Starlight, with tasty drinks and terrible 70s disco music.
Ate and shopped our way around downtown
Helped Lex find her perfect wedding shoes.
Played in Sonoma (can you believe this November weather? High 70s to low 80s!)
Brooke's aunt was kind enough to get us in for a members wine tasting at Ram's Gate.  It was so good.  Usually when wine tasting I like a few of the options, but we all agreed every single one here was amazing.
Our "rich family" pose
Costco. $32. 

Saturday evening a bunch of Dominique's friends came over to her place for a birthday celebration.  It was so great to finally meet the people with all the names I've knows for years.  One of them even brought homemade maple bacon ice cream.  I mean... Come on...  I can now see why she moved there. 
And on Sunday we ran around Palo Alto taking it Dominique's world - see her friends, shopping at her stores, touring Stanford, and eating chocolate-and-sprinkle frozen bananas on a stick.
Thank you, weather, for delivering on that order I phoned in, and happy, HAPPY BIRTHDAY Dominique!  Love you, lady!
