Last weekend my mom and I headed to San Francisco to get out of the stretch of 100 degree weather days we had been having. The city greeted us with rolling fog as we passed over the Golden Gate Bridge.

I've seen countless amazing photographs on social media and Pinterest of the Golden Gate Bridge from Baker Beach, so we made our way there to take in the view. It was beautiful. First of all, it was cold enough to need a warm sweater or jacket. And when you've been wanting to just lay naked on your bed with the air conditioning running for the past week, the chill in the air was very satisfying.

When we finally left Baker Beach we headed over towards our favorite bakery, Tartine. Along the way I wanted to stop at another cafe/coffee shop I had read about online called The Mill. But as fate would have it, we passed by a barbecue restaurant that smelled too good to pass up. Thank goodness for fate and destiny because damn, that food was delicious.

After sufficiently gorging ourselves on bbq, it was only natural to pick up a few treats from Tartine (read: two morning buns and four shortbread cookies for me-of which I still have two left...I know, I'm even surprising myself with this level of self control- and a morning bun and chocolate pudding for mom. All amazing as I can confirm by sampling a little of each). We walked over to Dolores Park to slip into a food coma before heading over to Big Daddy Antiques and then heading home.

We did plenty of eating on this trip...which, let's be real, is why I go on any trip.
