I made my first trip to San Francisco in August of 2012. Mark Twain was right when he said, “The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco.” Since then, I’ve lost half a dozen close friends to this beautiful and eclectic city, made a dozen more trips, and have finally (almost) learned how to pack for my visits.

I got six entire days in the city this time around, and it was almost enough time to touch base and see everyone/thing that I’d hoped to! Highlights from my week include a quick stop at the modern ruins of Sutro Baths, a chartered sail around the San Francisco Bay, rainy day wandering to the SFMOMA complete with my first experience kava root at Kava Lounge, and getting to assist my dear friend, Travis, with the launch of Basik Candle Co.

Hoping to head back this summer. Until then, thanks for all of the everything! SF, you make my heart flutter a little faster with every single visit. xx
