As the bookend to my BlogHer adventure, I've decided to show you the second part of my trip in pictures. BlogHer ended Sunday so my friend Sarah (who is also the first friend I made in Chicago) met me at the hotel and we were off!
Sadly we weren't "Girls Gone Wild" but we did cover a lot of the tourist attractions in the city in the two days we had together. Below is my montage for you all. Oh I have plenty more than this but it's just a sampling of our fun. I'm saving some for my "food love" post soon.
I also just wanted to clear up one thing, I did change my clothes while I was there, but because of the cold northern California weather, I only had one coat/scarf that could keep me "warm," which is why you'll see me in the same external outfit in every relevant picture.
San Fran's Bart map - easier than Chicago?
Chinatown
San Francisco (from the top of a painful hill!)
Me and a cable car
Fisherman's Wharf - Sea Lions!
Boudin Bakery - famous San Francisco sourdough
Local dungress crabs
Ghirardelli
Cupcake break from Kara's!
(raspberry buttercream frosting)
Lombard Street
Palace of Fine Arts (boo construction)
Sarah and me at the De Young museum garden
Haight Ashbury
Coffee with Angela!
Heading the airport
Phew I'm pooped. And I decided to spare you pictures of being hit on my a woman at a bar and a man vomiting between the Bart cars while heading to Oakland. No I wouldn't actually take pictures of that but you know what I mean.
San Fran was an awesome time and a perfect break from Chicago, but like Dorothy said..."there's no place like home."
Fortunately, my friend Sarah is coming back to Chicago in two weeks so it's time to get the band back together again. Woo hoo!
Those are great pictures! It looks like you had a lot of fun. I love San Francisco and can't wait to back to visit again!
ReplyDeleteI love San Francisco too! Your trip looked like a lot of fun!

ReplyDeleteFantastic pictures! It sounds like it was a blast. And I cannot get enough of those sea lions! How adorable.
ReplyDeleteseriously wonderful pictures!
ReplyDeletebut how messed up is that? cold enough in Cali to wear a scarf & jacket but too hot in Chicago to wear anything but wifebeaters and shorts?!
Bummer about the construction but brilliant to the raspberry buttercream frosting...Chocolate and Raspberry? Yes, Please.

aww no pics of the barfin man? shucks! :)
ReplyDeleteand that cupcake looks good...send me one? :)
Wow! Great photos!! I'm so jealous of everything. (I just read your previous post on Blogher and am convinced that I missed out). I adore the trolley shot, but the cupcake one? Dear lord. I loved that.
ReplyDeleteHow could it be so cold when it was 105 degrees back here?!!!
ReplyDeleteYour pictures inspired me this morning. When I got to work I realized that I had worn flip flops and had not brought any socks to put on when I changed into my scrubs. So I went to the gift shop and there were lots of socks to buy, but guess what I picked?
CUPCAKES!
"And I decided to spare you pictures of being hit on by a woman at a bar and a man vomiting between the Bart cars while heading to Oakland .."
ReplyDeleteYou really got the full San Francisco treat. Nice travelogue.
My only hope is that you bring back a sea lion.
ReplyDeleteSomeone is trying to shove a giant woman into that second story window. Did you call 911?
