Hide and Seek Weekend Recap
It's Monday again! source I'll probably be lapsing into cartoon speak because ever since we saw that major companies are purging the cartoons of our youth we've been buying up what we don't already have. A Scooby Doo , two Looney Tunes and another Sesame Street from our era since the Public Television that's been teaching children for decades has been defunded. If you listen to nothing else I say, buy physical copies of your favorites and do it quick. Prices on DVD's are going to skyrocket once these are pulled for good this year and right now you can get many between $12-60 depending on how many episodes are on each bundle or if you get the entire series. Physical copies means they can't revoke digital rights copies you buy for cheaper when disputes pop up and someone gets their undies in a twist and takes their toys and goes home taking all of the copies you paid for with it. *stepping off of soapbox* Another low key weekend for the most part....
Disneyland, Sea World, the beach and Yosemite as a kid.

I live in California not SF but it's just gorgeous here. Within about 45 minutes I am at the beach, desert or in 15 in the mountains. It's wonderful. Glad you enjoyed your stay:)
ReplyDeleteIf you disclosed you were on vacation before now I missed it, but boy do I enjoy hearing about your trips!!
ReplyDeleteMy father lived in San Francisco when I was a child and we spent 3-4 weeks there several summers in a row. My aunt lived in San Jose at the time so we would go there too. I've never been back to northern California as an adult, but would love to go back. My dad moved to the coast of LA when I was in high school and I visited him several times there. My aunt moved to Santa Barbara and I've visited her several times. I enjoy visiting California but couldn't imagine living there.
Your trip sounds fantastic and I can't wait to hear more about where you went!
Been to San Francisco a few times as a kid, my aunt & uncle (and later my grandma) lived in Sacramento and when we'd go to visit, we'd usually spend a day in San Francisco. I am always reminded of the Mark Twain quote, "The coldest winter I ever spent was the summer I spent in San Francisco." It has been cold every time I've gone there, and it was always summer time. I know the people who set up on corners, selling sweatshirts are probably rich enough to afford housing in San Francisco. The last time I was there was in August of 1989 on a family vacation with my own kids. We went to an Oakland A's baseball game in the afternoon, and we all got sunburnt. Then that night we took a tour of San Francisco on one of those carts, and had to cuddle up underneath heavy blankets they provided, of course all of us wearing the brand new sweatshirts we had bought from the street vendors. But I do love the city--particularly that Golden Gate Bridge! Breathtaking! Thanks for sharing your amazing pictures!
ReplyDeleteI love the Clint Eastwood movie "Play Misty for Me" for all the scenes of Carmel. would love to go
