The One With the Trip to San Francisco

Last week I went to San Francisco with Mallory and our friend Cara for a last little getaway before they go on the ultimate getaway and leave for Peru for nine months. I am sad to see them go, to say the least. But it was fun to cavort around in California for a few days before they became expatriates.

And I didn't have any babies in tow, so I took a lot of pictures. Ready? Here you go:
Union Nations Square

The Palace of Fine Arts was probably my favorite place that we visited. It was just huge and beautiful and romantic. Yep. If I lived in San Francisco I would go there everyday.
  

Everything about this city is cool. It's always bathed in this ethereal coating of fog, which I'm quite fond of. O, and there are a million hills, so you get some good exercise hiking around. And then you are rewarded everytime you get to the top of a hill and get to look out on the great expanse of the city. And the Painted Ladies! They are my favorite. I do so wish I could live in one of those beauties on a very steep hill. I do believe that would be quite fun. They even have little secret gardens popping up every so often between them.


After spending a few days exploring San Francisco, we headed to Monterrey Bay for our last day together.

It was fun. So much fun, in fact, that a little later I'll post a gazillion instagrams from the trip. Because I know how much you like Instagram recaps. Or maybe you don't, and I'm the only one who does. Either way....

It's times like these when I really wish I had some skill in landscape photography. It's fun to play around in, but I just never feel like I can really capture how beautiful some of the places I go are. Maybe that will be the next thing I dive into... the only problem being that it requires more camera lenses and more free hands than are currently available to me.
