So I finally tried clam chowder...

...and it was pretty amazing.

I know, how is it possible that I have gone 26 years of my life without trying clam chowder?

Well, until I met The Dizzle, "trying new foods" was not in my repertoire.

But now, I think I am coming out of my shell a bit. {Shell? Clam? .....No?}

Anyway, I think it's safe to say San Francisco was a blast.

I was a bit skeptical of the weather on our first day when it was overcast and cloudy, but then the sun surprised us for the rest of our days and it was glorious with a lovely breeze.

We explored Union Square our first day and basically became pros at using the Muni {public transport train thingymabob}. Ok, fine, we sort of got lost once, but we did make it back without having to ask anyone for directions.

We spent a lot of time with The Dizzle's family and his oh-so-cute-but-sometimes-oh-so-loud-in-that-way-only-a-two-year-old-knows-how nephew. ;)

I learned more about the movie Cars than I ever thought was possible.

But coming from a cute little toddler's mouth, I could pretty much listen to anything he wanted to tell me. Know what I mean?

And after a weekend with their great dane, Otis, I have come to the conclusion that this is the dog for me. We had quite the connection, Otis and I. I'm sure he's heartbroken now that I'm gone.

Let's see, what else about this magnificent city can I tell you?

I saw more men in drag than I have since...well, ever.

Also, I think if I lived there, I would work at Ghirardelli Square, eat chocolate all day, and be content with the average 5 pounds a week I would gain. 

Maybe.

Probably.

Anyway, back to the grind.

San Francisco, thank you for being so good to us.

Dizzle Family: We love you and miss you already!
