San Suggestion

Hey. We are going to San Francisco this summer for a week. We = 2 adults and 2 children (ages 6 & 3).

The first time I visited San Francisco I stayed in a Best Western. Across the street was a video store that had the words "Got Porn?" on the marquee. On that trip I spent my days scouring record stores for John Fahey and Skip Spence lps. Nights found me and my posse hanging at a blues club where the bartenders spit fire balls behind the bar between sets.

The second time I stayed in San Francisco was our honeymoon. We did lots of walking: Telegraph Hill, Haight Ashbury, the Museum of Modern Art, and the Labyrinth at Grace Cathedral. We also ate well.

I love San Francisco. I can think of a lot of things that I would like to do there, but I need some help. I don't think my kids want to go to City Lights bookstore as much as I do. So give me some suggestions of kid friendly things to do. For example, here's a good one from Mary:

Go to the Ferry Building, which is where the ferries come in, of course, but also a very cool market. There's a Peet's coffee (best latte ever, I drank two larges). Also a Cowgirl Creamery cheese place, bakery, other produce, shops and restaurants. It would be great with kids. Take the trolley, grab breakfast and watch the ferries come in.

Comments are open, as usual.
