The Bay + SF

kenneth & i spent the night at steven's home in the bay area. we spent time catching up and then crashed. the next morning we had breakfast with his family and then headed out to do some exploring with steven and his mom. 

we made a stop of the oakland temple, which was closed for remodeling but it was still beautiful to see.

then we headed to san francisco. since i've done the whole san fran tour before it was fun to be more relaxed as we visited the city. we took a trolley car around which i didn't get to do last time so that fun. 

we ate an early dinner at this 1950s style diner and shopped around. it was so cold. i could not believe it was july and freezing. it was just fun to hang out with steven and his mom. they were the best tour guides and it's always so nice to have locals show you around so you don't have to worry about the stress of driving and knowing where to get to everything. 

we grabbed dessert at the ghiradelli chocolate factory, yummm.

and finished it off with a stroll around chinatown and a drive along the golden gate bridge through some pretty thick fog. 

san francisco has become one of my favorite cities and i love visiting. i'm excited because my brother-in-law and sister-in-law are moving here this summer so it'll be fun to visit more.
