San Francisco Part 10: SF Giants Game

On the last day of our trip, we checked out of the Intercontinental. The hotel held our bags and we walked to AT&T Park to watch the World Series Champion SF Giants play the Atlanta Braves. Out of the 6 or so major league baseball stadiums I've been to, the AT&T Park is the most picturesque. It was a fun way to end our 4-night trip in the city. Thanks for reading!

San Francisco Part 9: DeYoung Museum, Kezar Stadium

We met up with Christie, Carter and Bob for a tasty lunch at the DeYoung Museum, which is directly across from the Academy of Sciences. We took a stroll through the Golden Gate Park to an empty stadium, where we did a little jogging. The more competitive ones ran some races! We enjoyed this unplanned, wonderful detour at the Kezar Stadium.

San Francisco Part 8: California Academy of Sciences

We took the Muni from our hotel to Golden Gate Park. We used our CityPASS for our transportation as well as for admission to the California Academy of Sciences. This building houses a natural history museum, and aquarium, a rainforest dome and so much more. There is something for everyone here!

San Francisco Part 7: SFMOMA

After Japan Town we headed for the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, which houses a collection of contemporary and modern art. Anna and I were separated from the boys for a while in this multi-level building, but we enjoyed our time, and together we recognized works by Matisse, Diego Rivera, and Paul Klee. (She learned a lot from the Meet the Masters art lessons at school.) When we reunited with the entire family, we strolled through the Rooftop Garden and enjoyed the tasty Mondrian-inspired cake at the museum cafe.
