San Francisco

We ended up driving rather than taking the ferry, because Douglas had a sore throat so we wanted to be able to leave quickly if we needed to. He seems to be doing fine though.

We had fun in San Francisco. First we went to the Giants' stadium, where there is a kids' playground complete with tiny pretend ballpark and the kids could pretend they were hitting home runs at the park.

Next we went to the Ferry Building for lunch. There were lots of delectable choices. Douglas chowed down on mac 'n' cheese, while Owen had a burrito and Dan and I split a salmon sandwich and a beef/greens/onion sandwich.


Finally we went to the California Academy of Sciences' temporary quarters near Yerba Buena gardens, where we saw several cool fish and penguins.


All in all, a nice day. It was beautiful - upper 60s and breezy - in San Francisco. When we got back to Davis around 5 pm it was 101 degrees.
