Where to begin?

Since I started this blog for my dad I will start with three things he enjoys - swimming, biking, and running.

The school district created a four-day weekend and I decided if I went away for two days I would still have two days to do laundry and other joys of being a grown-up.  I bought a ticket to visit my sister and even though I was gone for less than 48 hours it felt like a real vacation.

I think it is the first time I have ever forgotten to pack a swim suit!  I didn't really forget it, as in I meant to pack it but didn't.  It didn't even cross my mind that I would have a chance to swim.  What was I thinking?

A perfect place to swim!

I wish I had taken a picture of my sister's garage, which has a beautiful variety of two-wheeled vehicles - almost one of each kind.  Lucky for them, we drove right by a couple of free contraptions.  After circling around the block and checking them out the smaller one made the cut and has found a new home.

I love that the name of the street is imprinted in the sidewalk.

Since I am trying to get a good time for the Turkey Trot I didn't want to miss my Sunday run.  Staying in the Sunset neighborhood means I just have to walk up the street and cross into Golden Gate Park. 

What a pleasure to explore a new place!
