San Fran with the Fam

A few weeks ago, my sister moved out to San Francisco.  In fact, it was during a week long heatwave that the east coast got smashed with.  Perfect timing for some cool Nor Cal weather!  Never been to Cali before this trip, just very acquainted with LAX... time to get a new positive perspective on such a beautiful state!  Anyway, below are a few of my favorite snaps inbetween galavanting around to different places, seeing as much as possible in a short window with the fam, and seeing Emily off to work at Kiva.  If you don't know about this amazing company, be sure to give that link a click to check them out.  It's a microfinance company that works primarily with ambitious and entrepreneurial people in third world countries, but they are pioneering the microfinance movement in the USA.  Want to feel good about yourself? Go make a loan through them and tell your friends, you won't regret it!
