The early Stanford trip has always been a favorite. Great competition, usually great weather (not this year), great facility, and generally a fun area. This year was no exception as we ran fast and were able to enjoy the surrounding area on Saturday evening while waiting for our Sunday morning flight. Another usual...going up to San Francisco for dinner and check out the sites. In the past we have done the usual things...The Pier, Lombard Street, the Embarcadero, and the Golden Gate Bridge. We even gone over to Sausalito (a quaint seaside town on the north side of Golden Gate Bridge in Marin County).
So this year I decided to check out some other hot spots. I drove the girls through Golden Gate Park which is about 4-5 miles long and ends up at the coast on the west side of the city. From there we drove by the Cliff House, through the Presidio, by the Golden Gate Bridge, over to Union St, and finally ended up in Union Square for dinner at Cheesecake Factory. We will be keeping Canon and Kodak in business. I've posted some of pics in this post and will put a few up to the right as well. It was a great time and the girls really enjoyed seeing parts of the city they had never seen. Great place to visit, but most likely a tough place to live due to the high concentration of people constantly on the move. Our dinner at CCF was outside six floors on the patio of the Macy's right in Union Square. Think of Times Square in NYC, but not quite as big.
From there it was back to Palo Alto. We arose to a cool, but sunny morning and were able to get in our long run (76 minutes). Back to business as usual because we wouldn't have it any other way :)
