Trip Itinerary – San Francisco

It’s been almost two months since our last trip and it feels like we’re in a major drought! Luckily, October and November are full of trips and events. Our major vacation in October is San Francisco! We’re heading there for six days with my parents, who have already visited. However, it’s the first time for Jay and I, so we’re trying to fit in as much as possible!
