san francisco

As a (belated) birthday present, D whisked us off to San Francisco! It was so nice to enjoy a long weekend from a stressful week at work. Even though I had to stay late on Thursday night to finish up some tasks due Monday morning, it was worth the extra hours to not worry about what didn't get done.

The weather was absolutely perfect. The gusts of wind were pretty intense for the most part, but the deep blue sky and crisp air was a refreshing change to the muggy, brown mush that is Los Angeles.

I had so much fun traveling with D, which I was extremely thankful for. Having a partner makes a traveling experience so much more rich and enjoyable (if you like your partner, that is. I happen to like mine very much).

San Francisco is for lovers.

Walking across the Bridge. I was pretty terrified, hence me leaning awkwardly into D.

Driving all around SF. The roads are crazy! It was like being on a rollercoaster.

Bliss.
