I spent the past weekend in San Francisco with my two daughters just having fun! During the trip I made the following observations:

1. A must do in San Francisco is to ride a bike from Fisherman’s Wharf across the Golden Gate Bridge to Sausalito. Only a couple of hills (big hills but I rode them!) and it was just beautiful.
2. San Francisco is a little behind in some things; cable cars as transportation (well, that was cool), no auto flush toilets, and they like cash instead of credit. And when credit cards were taken, more than once they used carbon copies and scratched the raised numbers on the paper. It was just odd.
3. Billy Butler in green just didn’t seem right.
4. “Meeting” by James Turrell is my favorite work of art, so to see another similar work at the de Young Museum seemed like it should be a thrill. Turns out, not so much. Modern art is hard to explain, so why one piece moved me so much and the other was what it was, a hole in a ceiling, I just can’t explain.
5. To travel with my kids is so much fun. They are absolutely nothing alike and that makes any trip full of variety. I hope we are still traveling to see the world for a long time to come. I am very lucky! Europe next?
