SAN FRANCISCO — I blinked, and just like that, my San Francisco trip was over.

I have had a lovely time being with my family out here. Talking with them, and laughing with them, and sharing memories with them. I always hate to go.

This trip wasn’t quite long enough – as it never is – and I wasn’t able to hit some of the other iconic San Francisco destinations. But we did make it to the Golden Gate Bridge yesterday, and drove through the city to and from the Bridge.

I love this city. And I love the people in it and our family history here.

I’ll have a few photos and a video for you later this week, but for now, I leave you with this.

To the San Francisco branch of my family: I love you all very much. And am already happily anticipating my next visit.

Love — a.e.
