As many of you may know, San Francisco, mostly outer, is probably the worst place to be during the summer months if you happen to be a sun worshiper.  It’s foggy, cold and somewhat uninspiring.

This past weekend was the first reminder of how summer may very well be in the city, when I sat the entire weekend, working on my book, in my sweats, blanket, thermal socks, drinking hot tea.  Believe me I wasn’t happy.

So, for those of us, stuck in this wonderful city, mostly in the avenues, I recommend, escaping at least one day out of the weekend, just to get inspired, while frolicking 🙂 in the sun.  I’ve already planned my list of things to not my spirits go dow.

1. Drive to Napa for a day to picnic in V Satui Winery- here
2. Spend a day at Burlingame Avenue shopping and enjoy lunch  in an outdoor cafe – here
3. Drive Inland, South or East anywhere there is water, sun and grass – here and here
4. Visit Muir Woods – here
5. Trek and picnic in Redwood City here
