We went to San Francisco for the weekend rather than cooking out of the bus for Thanksgiving.
GREAT TIME!
Weather was about 73 degrees for three days.

Best idea yet for a family fun run. The city can be a magic place with a group like yours. Good going, building precious memories.vandenberg - 12-1-2012 at 08:26 AM
and to think I used to live there at one time. Brings back great memories.bacquito - 12-1-2012 at 09:17 AM
Nice looking family!durrelllrobert - 12-1-2012 at 10:42 AM
Cable car and Ferry Building? What kinda tourist are you? Just kidding, in all the years I lived at Half Moon Bay and then Redwood city I always
looked forward to taking our out of town visitors to do the same thing.

did you guys get a little rice-A-roni with dinner?Udo - 12-1-2012 at 11:00 AM
From what I saw by walking down the malecon along the Embarcadero, several of the other old shipping buildings are being remodeled to transform them
into something similar to the old Ferry Building that has been doing so well for years.
For those who have not been there, the old Fairy building houses many boutique restaurants, specialty coffee houses, one of the shops even specializes
in serving about 20 varieties of oysters.
There are also gourmet olive oil shops, chocolate shops, two gourmet and sourdough bread bakeries, a Sur La Table, and numerous other unforgettable
places.
Three days to visit just the Embarcadero are not enough.
You have to dedicate one separate day alone just to visit the seven story Nordstroms in the Union district. A marvel in itself!durrelllrobert - 12-1-2012 at 11:10 AM

Udo, nice family pic, thanks. Got to visit the area in June and had a blast. Found great weather too.
Hope you and Jana have a grand trip south. CHEERSMartyman - 12-3-2012 at 12:57 PM

Here is a photo of the ferry building taken from the building where I work (salesforce).
The best bread in the entire bay area, acme bread, is baked inside. Nothing like hot, freshly baked bread.
The ferry building was our Ellis Island. We disembarked at it's docks in '58 and boarded a greyhound for LA.
Of all the friends and acquaintances we've shown the city there has never been anyone who disliked it. Even for us there had always been a sense of
excitement when we 'went to town'.
For many of us SF was at its peak during the 60s. But the old timers claim that actually the city lost much of it's character after WWII. Kind of like
Asuncion after they paved the road.
