There are few places that I enjoy visiting more than San Francisco. Yes, it’s cold and frequently a pricey excursion. But the views, the awesomely random people you meet, the FOOD, the often abrupt transportation, the fast pace, the shopping, and that sense of adventure that comes with each visit is worth every cent. Here are a few shots of our recent trip up North in celebration of my dear friend Jess’s birthday.
