If You’re Going to San Francisco….

Be sure to wear…some flowers in your hair… Zoe and I have been warbling the only two lines we know of the 1960’s hit since we got home late yesterday.

Needless to say, the mother-daughter trip over the weekend was a big hit. Seeing San Francisco through my four-year-old’s wide eyes was such a treat and completely different from previous trips pre-children. We went straight for the high-impact activities: Cable cars! Aquarium! Double-decker bus tour! I didn’t step foot in a single store or museum and the closest I got to Napa or Sonoma was a glass of chardonnay on Fisherman’s Wharf after the aquarium.

Now we’re back, and despite this story in the paper today about the Strib’s financial woes, I appear to still have a job in the newsroom. (But does it mean there’s no money for me to open a San Francisco bureau??)

Oh, Cribsheeters, it was lovely. I’ll tell you about Zoe’s Bay Area adventures in the next few days, but first I have to get back to my day job. More soon.

Dear Kay,

I look foward to reading your cribsheet every day. It is so inspiring as I work with children.

I hear about you all the time as my sister is Beth and in fact we met a long time ago in Uptown…
