If You're Going to San Francisco

take me. I'm on the ride home from the blessed city of San Francisco. It was a blast. When we arrived we took the way through the Golden Gate Bridge into the city just after sunset and it was magnificent. At the closing and after sunset I am not kidding the moon's reflection shone over the ocean and it was breathtaking. Just driving around the city that night I fell in love with it. Honestly, I think I left my heart in San Francisco. It's a concoction of tightly pressed unique homes {each with their own distinct designs and ornate details}, small shops, city light ruled buildings, and fascinating places to visit scattered all around. The city is built for people who enjoy walking, with their dogs, and who aren't afraid to walk through the narrow and festive Grant Avenue of Chinatown or to pick a small and simple restaurant of foreign food. I love San Francisco.
We drove the truck down Lombard Street, shopped in Chinatown, walked in and out of overpriced stores, ate on Mission Street, visited Full House [1709 Broderick Street], walked around Golden Gate Park, walked all of the Golden Gate Bridge (2 times), shopped and walked on Jefferson Street, walked Pier 39, ate hot dogs on Treasure Island, went to Baker Beach, took Sparky to Fort Folsom, had some hot chocolate at Ghiradelli Square (I do not recommend the classic hot cocoa) and simply enjoyed the splendors that the city has to offer.  
The only thing that could've made the trip better would be to have gone with Abel. But at the same time it was a good bonding experience for my parents and I (and Sparky.) The sunsets are beautiful and the city lights exemplify the magnificent city by the beach. The Bay Area definitely has to be my favorite. After this trip I see Full House and Princess Diaries with much more excitement. I love San Francisco! But I love Bountiful a little bit more, I'm actually really excited to see my beloved home soon and to dance and play in the snow. Bye bye San Francisco, with no doubt in my mind I know that I will return again.
