 Musée Mecanique's Old Fashioned, New Fangled Fun
Posted Tuesday, May 23 @ 12:00:00 PDT by Brendan
Right in the heart of tourist-central, waterfront San Francisco, there are tons and tons of attractions that beg you to visit, and typically charge you a hearty fee to do so. It was refreshing to find one different one, Musée Mecanique, which is right on the tip of pier 43, and it’s free for admission to anyone and everyone. |

 True Fans Understand Why Pictures Missing
Posted Monday, May 22 @ 17:00:00 PDT by Brendan
I know, I know, we’ve had a bunch of articles with pictures missing in the past week. As of right now they should all be up to speed, but for those of you daily regulars (like Chris and Monica) you already know we missed them on the right days, and it’s with greatest sincerity I extend this apology. |

 Brown Bear Factory Either Stuffed Orphanage, Plush Mad Lab
Posted Sunday, May 21 @ 23:00:00 PDT by Brendan
If you’re going to do the San Francisco waterfront properly, as I surely did, you need to leave time to do the best kid-oriented attractions, and trust me when I tell you that any visit would be incomplete without spending time at the Basic Brown Bear Factory, a place I’m convinced is either an orphanage for undernourished bears or some kind of mad, plush, crazy bear creation laboratory. But which it is, I still can’t say. |

 Sleeping in Cars in Transit Okay, Derelict Thereafter
Posted Saturday, May 20 @ 23:00:00 PDT by Dominic
Our trip to San Francisco promised to take a relative million years, and it did, but it somehow got worse than that along the way. It was long enough that we slept and woke more times than I know, and when we arrived, we still hadn’t arrived. I’ll tell you, sleeping in the car is okay when you’re driving, but once you’re there, well, it’s for the birds; seagulls in this case, but maybe lemurs too. |

 Beach Chalet Closest to Beach Eating Sans Eating Sand
Posted Friday, May 19 @ 23:00:00 PDT by Brendan
There’s a handful of things you have to do when you go to San Francisco, such as see the Golden Gate Bridge, take a stroll through Alcatraz (preferably in a stroller), and see the expansive, though not expensive, San Francisco Zoo. There are other must-sees along the way. For example, if you’re going to the zoo, you have to go to the Beach Chalet. |

 Winchester Mansion Embodies American Architectural Bonkerness
Posted Thursday, May 18 @ 23:00:00 PDT by Brendan
If you are going to take a trip to San Francisco (or live in the area in the first place), you owe it to yourself to take a quick trip down to San Jose. Not just because it’s a funny name for a city, because the city itself isn’t as funny as the funny sounding name might lead you to believe, but because it’s got almost as much history as San Francisco has itself, and there’s no greater history (or mystery) to be found than the architectural singularity of the former home of the reclusive plutocrat Sarah Winchester who built the fabled Winchester Mystery House, formerly known as Sarah’s house. |

 Mark Hopkins Hotel Central Geographically, Historically
Posted Tuesday, May 16 @ 14:00:00 PDT by Brendan
When we took our entire headquarters to San Francisco, we wanted to do it in such a way as to pay highest and best tribute to the very best in family fun that can be had in the town, but naturally, we had to do it in such a way as to maintain sensitivity to our budget. We did all that with our trip to the Intercontinental at One Nob Hill, but we did so much more at that. |
