San Francisco, thanks for the memories!

Just got back into Big D from visiting San Francisco. Didn’t get to visit any of the pubs because that’s hard to do when you’ve got a 7 and 8-year old in tow (and the only parent). Still, I did manage to have a few local brews and liked them but I can tell I missed out on sooooo much more. And it was a real bummer to go into the beer store and see all the killer brews that I couldn’t take back on the plane.

I you ever come to Dallas-Fort Worth, I would like to apologize in advance for all the shitty drivers and construction.

Where’d ya go in the city?

yikes - yeah I take too many of these limited exposure trips too! cheers to big d

(in no particular order) We saw Fisherman’s Wharf (figured out pretty quick that it was just touristy and not the true representation of SF), the third Rangers/Giants game at AT&T park (thanks for the free hats - lol), had a pizza at Village Pizzeria (the one on Van Ness), saw a part of Lombard street but it was not the famous part, Bay Bridge, Golden Gate Bridge, drove around downtown and since I’m also a cemetery buff I visited a few of the cemeteries along El Camino Real in Colma and the GG National Cemetery in San Bruno. I didn’t visit Chinatown because I knew there would be no way I’d get my kids to eat there. Oh, and we parked in Japantown and rode the #47 Muni to the game...just for the experience. We saw the old cable cars at Fisherman’s Wharf but didn’t have time to ride one.

I’ll definitely be back as I know I hardly scratched the surface of things to do there.

Last week I was in Las Vegas for a whopping 33 hours! Grammy took the kiddos for a week and the wife and I took off for LV. The wife had to go back to work so when we got back into town I took a three hour nap and drove to Shreveport. The 1st and only rule of Grammy: when she takes the kids, you *don’t* sit at home and do nothing!
