No question, there are some beautiful places to see in San Francisco.

A couple that come to mine...

Alcatraz
Fisherman's Warf
The trolly car museum
Riding the trolly car
Ghirardelli (sp?) Square
The neat earthquake museum above Ghirardelli's (sp?) - if they're still
there...
The nearby Muir National Monument

I'd be curious if the Golden Gate Recreational Area has been fixed up
since I was last there years ago. It was in pretty bad shape at that
time. I'll bet it has some real potential if it's finally been fixed
up. Can anybody comment on that one?

I can't wait to get back out there and bring the kids when they're a
bit older. San Francisco has enough positive things to advertise and
get people out there.
