We ate a late lunch/early dinner at the Cliff House at Ocean Beach today. There are huge windows all around so you can look out at the Pacific Ocean and Seal Rocks. We thought there would be seals at Seal Rocks which was one of the big incentives for our going. However, we found out…
We bought a basketball earlier this week at Sports Authority and shot some baskets at Balboa Park (not to be confused with the park of the same name in San Diego) a couple days later. Charlie couldn’t bounce the ball despite my demonstrations, explanation, and hand-over-hand help. Then twice when I passed him the ball,…
It was a full day! We took a cable car to the Cable Car Museum (which is also the cable car garage) where we watched the wheels and cables operate. There are four cables coming into the garage/museum for the three cable-car lines (running along four streets). An electric generator powers the twelve huge wheels…
On Saturday we took BART to Civic Center and walked around the San Francisco Library. It’s a large, modern building, finished in 1996, with six stories and a huge, light-filled atrium. The children’s room featured a large bulletin board that said, “Year of the Horse” and had two paper horses. It reminded me again of…
Laurel finished knitting her second hat – this one for herself. It’s supposed to look like the TARDIS (time machine) from Doctor Who. We rode the bus to the Golden Gate Bridge on New Years Day. I figured the sidewalk on the bridge would be crowded since that was the case when we were there…
I think I’ll let the pictures and captions do the talking.
Charlie said without a trace of irony (As I’m reading this post to Laurel, she pointed out that she also doesn’t have a trace of iron(y). You’ll have to read on.) this morning and with a smile on his face. Here’s what preceded those words: I got up at 6:00 to go to the bathroom.…
Laurel and Charlie have the flu or something like it. Charlie was tired Sunday but agreed to go out sightseeing anyway. When we returned to the apartment, he napped on the sofa. I noticed his neck was throbbing – a pulsating jugular vein – and it really scared me. I called Barb for nursing advice…
I was going to title this “I left my calves in San Francisco.” When I Googled that, I found that another blogger had already used those words as a title to describe her family’s SF trip. 🙂 (Not that those words are copyrighted – I just wanted to be original.) We’re staying in a tiny,…
