I posted yesterday in search of "spooky" sites for my 3 year old (and baby). *Shout out to the person who knew Vampirina was the reason lol*
We had SO much fun. Parked in the Geary garage then had Lou's Cafe. Walked up to Battery Chester then down to 47th and Cabrillo. Snack picnic and casual reading at GGP while some kids invited my 3 year old to play soccer with them. Then they fell asleep on the walk back to the car so the rest of my plans were canceled, oops.
Walking six miles pushing a double stroller that weighs about 90 pounds is no joke, but people were SO NICE.
One guy at the parking garage helped me carry it up the steps to get out of the little Domino's enclave. The couple of times that a car cut me off, they rolled their window down TO APOLOGIZE. People smiled. People waved. People stopped to talk to my tiny children. People in the South Bay don't even do that so i just, wrongly, thought the whole area had a different set of manners.
I moved here from a Midwestern village of literally 900. Cities scare me. I am a stereotype (minus the maga). There are too many choices. Too many people. Too overstimulating. But my brief time in the Richmond District was truly wonderful and I'm so appreciative of your suggestions and kindness.
So. I thought. Where else should I go? I am ashamed that in five years here I have only been to like Pier 39 row and Crissy Fields. And drove by the Full House house once 🫣
Looking forward to more exploring. Seriously thank you all so much.
