I recently had the pleasure of attending an intimate Chinese New Year celebration at the Grand Hyatt in downtown San Francisco.  The Grand Hyatt is a landmark hotel in the city and I was beyond excited to celebrate my first Chinese New Year with them.  Check out the photos below to take a peek into our evening together.

The #LivingGrand experience hosted by Grand Hyatt was absolutely incredible.  It was great to check out a local gem hotel, meet the guests and staff, and experience a new celebration of culture.  If you’re looking to book a trip to San Francisco anytime soon, I highly recommend you book your stay at the Grand Hyatt for an unforgettable experience.  Thank you Grand Hyatt for a beautiful evening!

I’m not ready to let go of the fun Chinese New Year…so I’m keeping the fun alive this weekend at the San Francisco Chinese New Year parade!  Be sure to check it out if you’re in SF!
xoxo

OMG they don’t call it a Dreamliner for nothing! Traveling on this plane was so relaxing. It’s not easy to travel with kids, but the Extra Comfort seats and incredible cabin ambiance (beautiful purple lighting, the wood details, and altitude pressurization and filtration) made it feel like we weren’t even on a plane. The incredible Hawaiian hospitality kicks off your vacation the moment you step onboard, can’t wait to plan our next trip! #AD #HawaiianAirlines #HawaiiStartsHere #787 #Dreamliner
