Guys, we need to talk about San Francisco. When we made a plan with Matt’s parents to go there for a family-business-related trade show, I was prepared for the beautiful and distinctive neighbourhoods. I knew about the overcast weather.

Brunch at Cleaver
As I mentioned in my post about New Year’s Eve, we were recently graced with a visit by four of our dear friends from Edmonton.
