francisco. fran-cis-co. buddy the elf? anyone? too soon? you don’t already have your tree up? a few weeks ago, i headed to “full house” city/wine country (the important things) for a bachelorette party. we ate, we drank, we spent some time in a prison. san fran is amazing. it’s a gorgeous city – it’s…
