Today is my birthday and I am celebrating it in the Bay… San Fransisco Bay that is. We had such a lovely drive down the Historic and Scenic Highway 101 from Washington through Oregon to California. The views were incredible as we hugged the coast all the way south. 16+ hours of driving later, we arrived last night.

Our first stay was at a snug hotel in the Financial District overlooking the skyline and San Fransisco Bay. There is so much to see, I simply cannot get over my excitement from it all. Also, fun fact that I learned about San Fransisco is that it’s one of the oldest cities on the west coast. Oh, I forgot to mention that, it’s Easter Sunday, which also makes today special. I couldn’t ask for a better way to celebrate my coming of age.

In just a few moments, we were to prepare ourselves for the next California destination. Before we left San Fran though we found ourselves in a town, so quiet as a result of living during this world pandemic. We just walked around for a while.

There is something about strolling through the quiet city, taking in the scenery with every breath and stopping to to enjoy the beautiful flowers. I felt so alive and I would do it over and over a hundred times.
