san francisco

i am so glad that liz and i took this trip. it was great. i even enjoyed the two 12 hour drives, in which we listened to plenty of christmas music and hilary duff and this song about a million times. as soon as we got into the city, we were walking around and neither of us could stop saying "i'm so happy! i love this place!"

we spent thanksgiving walking around beautiful muir woods and checking out the golden gate bridge. we ate lots of delicious food the whole week, like salted caramel ice cream, mint milkshakes from ghirardelli square, macarons, donuts, sandwiches, pastries, margherita pizza, and our favorite things from trader joe's. we visited the legion of honor (where i saw works by several artists i've learned about in my northern baroque art class this semester!) and the san francisco museum of modern art. we went black friday shopping (i love you, madewell) and explored the ferry building and union square. we stayed at a lighthouse/hostel with the prettiest view on the drive every day. it was pretty much perfect.

i almost left my heart.
