San Fran

A couple of weeks ago, Nick and I went on a short trip to San Francisco.  Since I'm getting very much over sharing all of my pictures on Facebook, I thought this would be a perfect time to just share a few from the trip here.  We didn't explore San Francisco as much as I would have liked, but I think all in all we've had the best time there yet. 

Taking a short break to make a phone call to a very close friend.

Clam chowder!! It's the best.
  

We grabbed a bowl of our favorite non-traditional clam chowder and grilled cheese sandwich at 

 We also spent some time with a friend we hadn't seen in FOUR years and meet another in person. We had a great Austrian dinner at Leopold's on Polk Street.  I would move to San Fran just to be able to eat here all the time.

Instead of shopping or tourist type things (which I didn't want to drag Nick through anyway), we walked A LOT and to no particular place.  By doing this, I can honestly say that I fell in love with what the city really has to offer.

 On our last morning, our feet were a bit tired, and I really wanted to eat brunch, but things didn't turn out.  We ended up walking around looking for an ATM and had breakfast at a little spot called Golden Coffee.  Nothing crazy, just blueberry pancakes made by this guy in a tiny cafe.

Riding in the tiny elevator in our hotel.

Of course, we were always finding weird things like this missing cat sign. Reads, "Bento, Adult male, has a brownish-gray coat, is super friendly, and Has four eyes."  It was an ad for an artist's exhibit, but still super funny.
