buzz kill.....




We headed up to the museum today and arrived just before noon but found it almost impossible to even get into Golden Gate Park there were so many people.   After driving around for at least a half hour we found the parking garage with a sign saying the museum was already sold out for the day...... are you kidding me?  I thought if I planned this trip on a Friday when the San Francisco kids were not on spring break I would be OK.  Ooopps.   Ok well, change of plans.  We checked into the hotel (which was an adventure because we booked it through hotwire and you don't know what your are getting until AFTER you pay for it) and it was beautiful.  A fantastic hotel a block from Union Square with free internet, and ipod docking station and John's favorite bath products L'Occitane.  So what do we do with a few hours to kill before dinner?  Shop of course.  Union square was fun.  Dinner in North Beach was disappointing only because we know how amazing the food can be there and this particular restaurant was far under par.  At least now we know where not to go next time.  The plan is to wake up early tomorrow and try the museum again....
