San Francisco

Miraculously, yesterday's rain is gone and the sun is out this morning.  While Mrs. SFO got ready for the day, I headed out to Union Square to take in the sights of The City.

Time to hit the road and head north to Petaluma.

But first a lunch stop at another favorite neighbor haunts, Balboa Café.

OMG!!

And just next door, our favorite SF pizza.

You take whatever parking spot you can get.

More of the old Marina neighborhood.

Next stop: Larkspur Landing across from the Larkspur Ferry.

... and Three Twins Ice Cream.  AA serves this on its LAX-JFK supper transcons.  Despite getting rave reviews by FTers, it didn't do anything for me.  So, I decided to try it at sea level.  Had a scoop of the same Madagascar Vanilla.  Meh, maybe a little better but not a wow.  Mrs. SFO agreed.  "... Too icy, not creamy enough.  Ben & Jerry's is better..."   There you go, the culinary school graduate has spoken.

Then up 101 for the 30 minute drive to Petaluma.
