Life in Michigan's Upper Peninsula

California pt. 4 {Farmer’s Market and the Golden Gate}

08/05 by Leigha 10 Comments

California pt. 5: FOOD
California pt. 3 {Alcatraz & Fisherman's Wharf}

{Part 1, Part 2, Part 3}

Blog is literally two months behind real life right now. The only thing I can do is get going on posting what’s been going happening!

This will be the last edition of my California trip (except the food post!). It was arguably one of the best days.. if it’s even possible to pick a favorite day!

The farmer’s market at Ferry Plaza alone makes me want to live in San Francisco. All of the freshness, local food, handmade goods… I’m ready to move there. 

Pictures!

Once we were back at the hotel we did some shopping and had a fancy dinner for our last night in Cali.

It was quite the ordeal getting home the next day with a 7 hour delay at the SF airport, taking a flight to Portland instead of straight to Chicago, sleeping in the Chicago airport, and finally getting to the Green Bay airport and driving home. But hey, we made it!

Green Bay!

It was such an amazing trip and I can’t thank Grandma enough for taking me and Aunt Stacy for coming along. It was AMAZING. I don’t know when, but I will live in California someday. 😀
