I haven’t taken a real vacation with just my wife and no family reunion or work to do since my honeymoon. We got away last week and had a blast in San Francisco. It was nice to visit a city I knew pretty well but hadn’t seen 1/10th of yet. Chillier than I’d hoped, but a good 50° warmer than the town I left behind.

Since I don’t have any new creations or other news to post today, I present the highlights of our journey.
