total tourists

One of the best things about living in SF is the fact that it's a great place for friends and family to come visit. It's like getting to celebrate life with people you love in destination/vacation style, all the time! With a plethora of ever changing adventure opportunities, it's almost overwhelming to pick and choose where to take your guests in a short amount of time. And that, my friends, would fall under the category of #whitegirlproblems.

We had so much fun being tourists right in our own backyard this weekend while B's bff from elementary school and his fiance were in town--bridge crossing, Bay ferrying, Fall picnicking, deck spiriting, wine tasting. SF shined in all her glory for us, mixing in moments of both beautiful sunshine and crisp sea breezes. My time spent in the office has been a bit tense the past few weeks, so it was nice to take a break and breathe outdoors.

I have always felt deeply grateful to live in this corner of the world (often saying I'm not from here, but I got here as soon as I could) and now with B by my side it all feels just that much more special. Seeing him get excited to share his new city with others helps to remind me that it's a true blessing to call SF home; that people save and plan for years to experience a piece of California we enjoy on a regular basis. I think it's important to recognize this great luxury, among many others, as often as possible. To make memories that are full and rich; to photograph happy times as a token of days well spent. To live in this west coast moment wholly, appreciating our youthful days which are filled with love and laughter and life. It's a privilege denied to many, and I don't ever want to forget that.

So thanks for checking in and for reading. And thanks to all our visitors for helping us remember :)

In Gratitude,

Trish
