Emily Hits the Golden Gate

My sister Emily moved to San Francisco! After 7 years in Boston, she had decided it was time to move west again. I am really glad to have someone from my family close by. She joined my racing team, we have meals together, shop, hike, and just hang out! She gets along well with our friends too. So far, I think she is really enjoying being here, and we love having her. Emily says she keeps feeling like she is on vacation, that she couldn't really live here-- it is just so beautiful. I remember feeling that way when I first moved here and it is nice to have a newcomers perspective, and realize we shouldn't take these beauties for granted. The weather right now helps -- while it is over 100 in most parts of the country, we are enjoying 80 degree perfection.
Here are some pictures from a hike we recently did just 15 minutes north of here:
