I love that it takes less than two hours to drive to San Francisco. When I was off from school between finishing my undergrad and starting grad school I would drive into the city every couple months. This past semester it felt like I couldn't even give up one precious day of study time to enjoy San Francisco. But now that I'm on winter break and can enjoy slowing things down, my mom and I headed to San Francisco to enjoy Tartine, the de Young museum, a new bar and coffee shop, and Flour and Water.
