I'm so excited to be heading to San Francisco tomorrow for a reunion with friends (and my first time ever exploring the city!). I'm even luckier to have these four amazing women in my life. We lived together in college and have remained super close despite the distance (3 West Coasters and 2 East Coasters), crazy busy lives, and sometimes infrequent phone dates. Last year we started a reunion ritual in Santa Fe. This year we picked San Francisco because two friends in the group live there — and the rest of us cashed in our airline miles to make the journey to them. And bonus, my brothers-in-law also call San Francisco home, so I'm booking some family time as well.
I checked out the resource links on sfgirlbybay (one of my favorite blogs) to add some of Victoria's recommendations to my wishlist of places in San Francisco to check out. Oh and that fantastic neighborhood poster above is available at Ork Posters.

I've been a fan of their online shop for so long — would love to see the boutique!
I could probably spend hours browsing the 4 floors of fabrics at Britex.

But if I don't hit any of the spots on my list, I know I'll still have a great time. I'm so looking forward to having several days to swap stories, eat, drink
wine, hike, and walk the city with my friends — it always feels like no
time has passed when we're together. I have posts ready to go for you
while I'm on my San Francisco adventure. And I'm sure I'll pop in with
some photos from the trip. If you have any San Francisco must-see spots, I'd love to hear, so feel free to leave a comment with yours. Off to pack!
