They took us to the Exploratorium, The Fillmore West, Chinatown on New Years, The Japanese Tea Garden in Golden Gate Park... The De-Young Museum... The Academy of Sciences... The Arboretum (a Large Glass Greenhouse Painted White)... I've Walked Across the Golden Gate Bridge... Driven to the Top of Twin Peaks... The Ferry Building is Where there used to be an Accurate Scale Model of the Bay... used to study tides... Girardelli Square Chocolate, The Haight Ashbury... North Beach (We Went to see Exotic Dancers in Indian Costumes - Because we were too Young for the Topless Bars) - Grandpa Lived Between the Haight and Mount Sutro... I've Danced to the Drums on Hippie Hill, Heard the Grateful Dead Play at Winterland, The Rolling Stones, Quicksilver Messenger Service, Traffic, and ELP at Winterland, Led Zeppelin at Kesar Stadium, The SNACK Concert... I'm REALLY LUCKY to Have Been There, Done That and Got the Tie Dye To Prove IT!
We went on a Boat Ride Dance on the Bay... Red and White Fleet - with a Band and we Cruised Near the Docks of Oakland... Really Pretty at Night... Dined at Casa Valhalla in Sausalito... But I Never Toured Alcatraz! I Have More Adventures To Be Done!

My Family Went Cross Country Skiing On the North Shore of Lake Tahoe at a High School Football Field. That way Some of us could Ski and the Children Could Saucer... and the Grandparents Could Just Stand Around... I Have found that Cross Country Skiing is Very similar to "Taking a Walk in the Woods" but You Can Travel TWICE AS FAR... Half The Time You are Going Down Hill and that Takes almost no effort... and you go a lot faster... and then going up hill is Just about the same as walking...
