mdlbear | Superbowl Sunday (Reply)

Ah, yes: Superbowl Sunday, just the day to drive up to San Francisco and go to a museum. Hardly any traffic on I280, though the museum was probably about the same -- I don't think there's too much overlap between football fans and art lovers. The flower_cat and I went to the newly-rebuilt de Young Museum in Golden Gate Park. Very nice -- of course, I'm both a museum slut and an architecture slut, so I was a happy bear. Minor confusion with the recently-rearranged and currently-under-construction streets. Got a family membership, on the grounds that it will pay for itself in only another two trips. One more if we can actually persuade the family to come along.

We took a side trip to the Japanese Tea Garden, a long-time favorite spot, and had jasmine tea and cookies. Last time we were there we had chaoswolf in a stroller, about three years old. For some reason the kids don't like most museums, though the Wolfie seems to be getting over it. We've decided to go to a museum at least once a month, kids or no kids.

We left about 9:15. Got home at 3:00 and the kids were just coming downstairs. We know what their favorite weekend activity is (at least if there isn't a con to go to).
