On Saturday we went to the Golden Gate Park

Airport and dinner at the airport
Both days started out early
we did lots ... saw Lombard street, china town and most of the rest of the city, we rode busses and cable cars, we walked - a lot ... we walked pretty much from Bay Bridge to Fort Mason
It was cold - 65 degrees with 15mph sustained winds and 25mph gusts
There were a couple things we didn't do - go to Muir Woods/the redwood forest - it was several miles past the golden gate but we saw sequoias in Yosemite so that's ok
It was a good trip - we had lots of fun - ate lots of food and saw lots of stuff
Our flight left from San Fran at 1220 am CA time which is 320 VA time
we landed at 1030 am VA time
Im very happy to be back in Virginia where it is hot and humid
The kitties are happy we are home too - I have had at least one touching me since we have been back
Now I must get ready and go to work
This evening I will post more on the rabbit :)
