Nora and I tagged along with Jason on a trip to San Francisco and have been having a great time! We’ve done the Ferry Building, Chinatown, North Beach, Pier 39 and, my favorite, Ghirardelli’s Square for a brownie sundae. We lived in the city when we first moved West and I’d almost forgotten how much fun it is; I’m loving sharing it all with Nora, though she seems pretty content to sit in the hotel and play with the phone. Who knew landlines could provide this much entertainment, especially when there’s an entire city outside?
Welcome!
