Sometimes you wanna go…

…where [nobody] knows your name.

Kim is finishing up one last class, and then she is officially done with school. It’s taken a great deal of sacrifice, and to show how proud I am of her, I surprised her with an overnight trip to San Francisco on Friday to see Phantom of the Opera.

To be clear, I’m not a fan of opera or live theater, so the thought of combining them was less than exciting; that said, Phantom is one of Kim’s favorite things, and sometimes in marriage we have to make sacrifices…

The performance was surprisingly enjoyable, as was our stay in the newly-renovated Hotel Abri. But the best part of the trip was getting lost (as in, submerged) in the city. We love San Francisco: the food, the culture(s), the history and architecture.

We love that it’s not hard to find a hole-in-the-wall for dinner, and that during a short walk it’s possible to lose count of the languages overheard.

We love that everything is accessible on foot.

We love that anything goes—fashion is subjective (though the tighter, it seems, the better), and relationships have no boundaries.

Above all, we love having an evening away.
