California Knows How to Party.

After a doughnut and some rainy weather in NYC, it was finally time for my first ever trip to California! Here’s how you can claim the bay area in 4 days!

First stop as soon as we got out of SFO? In-N-Out of course! Animal style double-double is one of the definitions of happiness.

Afterwards my mom’s friend treated us to a Giants game at AT&T park. Which also had some of the best garlic fries I’ve had.

And we also did a little sightseeing around the car, visiting sights like Lombard street and the Golden Gate Bridge.

Afterwards we got some of the best bubble tea from T Pumps (taro, almond, coconut FTW!) and Mexican food from La Taqueria.

The next day we took a trip over to the Facebook sign (a community manager’s mecca) and had dinner at Patxis where I had my first deep dish pizza. NOM.

We also had another city day where we were able to visit the sights of Pier 39, Fisherman’s Wharf, and Ghiradelli Square.

After spending some time with my roommate who I’ll miss forever at her house in San Jose, the gang and I headed over to Boiling Crab.

Overall, a great trip with great company. Guess I did leave a part of my heart in San Francisco.
