Day 7: money money money, must be funny in a rich man’s world

We woke up by 7 and spent a bit of time mapping out our day. After a while we got hungry so we cleaned up and went to hit up the continental breakfast our motel promised us. Oh the choices!! A whopping coffee or tea ಠ_ಠ So we desperately went seeking for a breakfast place. On our way, we drove by a Tesla dealership, so obviously we had to stop, especially considering Justin was drooling over the newly announced Roadster that earlier in the morning. Unfortunately there were no Model 3s, let alone Roadsters on site, so I made do...

Day 6: Tonight, we are young So let's set the world on fire We can burn brighter than the sun

It was a slow start to our last day in SF. I was awake and away on my phone by 6 routing our day for potential must-sees along the way, Justin slept in (until 8?!), and had work to do in the morning. Checkout wasn’t until 11 and we wouldn’t be able to get our car until then anyway. So we each did our own thing. By 11 we were at the door and making our way to the car rental place. A bit chaotic for a check in, but we got our car (somewhat of an upgrade since our...

Day 5: oh girl, Girls just wanna have fun

My last day on my own and the last opportunity for San Francisco sightseeing - I spent the morning finishing up some work and decided I’m better off ubering to the Golden Gate Bridge Park so I have time to walk back before dark. Not making that mistake again! Just before calling one, I treated myself to a few oysters and another clam chowder (very bacon-y!) in a very highly place right across from the Airbnb. I sat at the bar and mapped up the potentially interesting things to see once we hit the road tomorrow. In the Uber, I...

Day 4: as the sun sinks low, the darkness finds its way

Another sunny day! Justin was off to the conference and I got up pretty much around the same time. Today’s plan involved a lot of walking so I wanted to make sure to get everything in. I set my direction the exact opposite way of my final destination because I *needed* a sushi burrito. That’s right, a burrito of sushi. The wrap is nori and rice but the inside is various sushi ingredients and you eat it like a burrito. It was glorious. I got overwhelmed at the place with all the amazing food on the menu so I also...

Day 3: every turn I take, every trail I track, every path I make, every road leads back

Sending Justin off on his first day of the conference, I stayed in bed for a little while. An hour or so in, I receive a text from him. His first day, first hour, and some shmuck behind him spilled hot coffee all down his back and didn't really acknowledge Justin with much of an apology. Grumbling, Justin went off to get cleaned up, found a new shirt (swag!), and on his way back to the keynote, got locked out. Eventually finding his way in, he found his seat was taken so you can imagine the messages I was getting....
