Last weekend we took a short road trip up north to San Francisco with our friend Katie in tow. We first made a pit stop in Placerville, which is outside of the city, to visit one of my best friends for a day, and then it was off to S.F.!

The car ride up, with a sleepy boy who wouldn't nap. |
 |
Breakfast in the middle of nowhere. |
 |
Stopping to stretch our legs and almost getting blown away. It was insanely windy. |
 |
Lindsay's adorable cabin! |
 |
The best breakfast! |
 |
Cabin livin'. |
 |
We explored an old gold mine that was a stone's throw from Lindsay's house. |
 |
Hunting for "froggits" (Levi's name for frogs)! |
 |
There was a guided audio tour inside the mine...but we ditched it two minutes in and explored it ourselves. |
 |
Another abandoned mine. |
 |
Katie bought Levi a geode to break open! |
 |
Lindsay, Levi, and the manzanitas.
After our overnight Placerville stop, we finally made it to San Francisco!
|
 |
Levi reeeeaallllly wanted to see the sealions down at Pier 39. |
 |
The Rock. |
 |
We had to do the obligatory GGB visit. |
 |
We made it down to SoMa for a food truck park that rotates trucks daily -- they had an awesome Cuban band playing while we sipped Sangria and ate tacos and chicken sliders. |
 |
Lemon head. He insists on eating lemons straight up. |
 |
Lunch in the Haight. |
I learned that having a kid along with you in a busy city isn't the most relaxing vacation -- I haven't been to San Francisco, or really stayed in any major city (well, besides L.A.), since having Levi -- but it was still nice to get away for a few days. We ate delicious food -- high on my priority list -- and explored what is one of my favorite cities. San Francisco, you still have my heart, (even though I have to rep SoCal because rivalry is rivalry). ♥
