My partner and I took yet another road trip to San Francisco (one of our favorite weekend getaways) by making a 5-day weekend for ourselves; we left the morning of Thursday, 6.22.2023 and came home Sunday, 6.25.2023 and took Monday off from work to just relax at home.
So, here are some random photos of San Fran, and some of the towns we stopped in along the way to and home from, SF.
Brunch in
Buellton, CA.
Pea Soup Andersen's has been around since 1924. They are known for their, well, pea soup. It's good, but my partner's split pea soup is much better.
