Everything Happens for a Reason

Look who I bumped into in San Francisco this afternoon!!!

Beth T, Anne P, and Jenna! It’s funny how life works out, huh? ;-)

In typical food blogger fashion, we met at Tartine to enjoy some delicious goodies.

Bloggers scoping out the options.

Everything at Tartine looked heavenly! I would have gladly eaten anything there. ;-)

Of course, we finished every last bite. ;-)

I ended up exploring San Francisco all afternoon, so I have a massive recap coming soon.

    I just happened upon your blog….and am inspired by the great photos you have taken! Also, they make me miss the west coast (having moved recently to the east coast) and especially the gorgeousness of SF.

    I’ve been stranded in SF too (stupid fog!) and I took a cab into the city to explore. I guess if you have to be stuck somewhere, San Fran is a nice place to do it :-) but I’m glad you made it home safe and sound!
