First stop: Children's Playground at Golden Gate Park (After 5 hour flight from Charlotte)

Sampling the micro-brews and capturing the view while we wait for our lunch at the Beach Chalet

Another 20-minute playground stop to work-off lunch

What? You've never seen a bunny in a wheelchair before?

Waiting with the other budget-minded folks for the "last hour free" at the Japanese teagarden

Tea and scones

Reading time

Waiting for the ferry to San Francisco

Sealions! And a bit of the Golden Gate bridge above the fog in the background.

Riding the curvy escalator

Walking the meditation labyrinth at Grace Cathedral

We finally find Aquatic Park playground in Berkeley with a little help from the local Rastafarian preschool director
