One Stop Shop

One of the many reasons we like living in the Bay Area is that we live so close to such a big city. San Francisco is like a tourist's buffet. There is no better example of this than our travels to the beautiful Golden Gate park this weekend. It is the Costco of all parks, a one stop shop! We were only at the park for approximately four hours but saw the following in that short amount of time. First we visited the De Young museum and discovered ancient african artifacts, early american furniture, sculptures, and modern art to name a few. (One of our favorites was the glass sculpture of a woman who when captured with light is illuminating; pictured below.) Next we went to the Japanese tea garden. It should be no surprise to anyone that we were too cheap to pay to go inside. We felt a picture in front of it would suffice.
On our way to the windmills, we couldnt help but stop and smell the roses, literally, the rose garden was beautiful. As Matt might try to claim, he wanted to see the windmill to honor his dutch heritage. The fact of the matter was that it was free and perhaps a good photo opportunity. We showed up just in time to watch this couple get married. Our day wouldnt be complete without a trip to the beach! A good 80% of the park is still unexplored. We cant blame you if you want to visit, our door is always open!
