This post is WAYYY overdue...but better late than never (:
A few weeks ago we had our SF design blogger meet up and I was able to meet one of my blogging (and now real life!) BFF's, Michelle from Ten June. The weekend following the meet up, I drove back to the city to meet up with Michelle and her adorable sister, Tori, to do some city things.
First stop, the Farmer's Market!
Amazebuns....that's right (;
Anddd it was immediately devoured...
Next we headed to Jonathan Adler for some inspiration:
Then we took a ride around some beautiful neighborhoods. I made Michelle snap these as I was driving.
Yes, that is one house...one house, people!
Tori said she wanted to drive up and down Lombard street, and as their driver for the day, I took the challenge!
Why use the word challenge, you ask? Picture so much traffic on the steepest hill of your life, that you're literally laying down in your car while continuing to stop and go every 30 seconds or so. I will compare it to being on the "ch ch ch ch ch" upward part of a roller coaster.
I won't lie...my palms were sweating!
10 and 2...Just like my daddy taught me (:
I sense fear in those smiles!
View from the top of Lombard street...worth it!
We made it down Lombard and back to the hotel safely. What a fun day in the city it was! Great friends, yummy food, beautiful houses and views, and my newfound promise to never make fun of online dating. Why? Because bloggers establish meaningful relationships, eventually go on blates {blogger dates!} and totally hit it off. Bam. Dontcha agree??
Happy, happy Friday!
Love,
PS. Welcome to my newest sponsor, Ashley, from Adventures of Newlyweds!
She's spunky, loves catch-phrase and is a self-proclaimed "foodie"...hehe, aren't we all?!
Oh, she's also drop dead gorgeous.

ReplyDeleteBy the way, I thought the pictures I took were awesome. Considering I had no flipping clue what I was doing with your fancy camera! I should probably stop being an attorney and blogging about interior design and start my career as a world-famous photographer instead. Right? : )

ReplyDeleteLooks like a great time. Love all the pictures! You know I have lived in San Fran for almost 3 years and still have not done Lombard street. Of course I don't have a car in the city and that would be quite a walk.
ReplyDeleteThose buns do look good, I will have to check them out. Ferry building Farmers Market I take it?

Hi Michaela,
ReplyDeleteI'm new to your blog and wanted to say hello! I read through a few of your posts and could not resist the Follow button! You seem like such a classy, sweet spirit. And I love that the Lord is a priority in your life; it is always refreshing to hear others speak/write about Him! :)
I loved this SF post; my husband and I moved from SF five years ago but we were just in SF last week---I miss that place! You got some great shots of my old stomping grounds. :)
Looking forward to reading along and getting to know you better! I hope you are having a beautiful weekend!
Aloha,
Angie
