What’s Happening This Weekend

Published by

August is pretty dreary in San Francisco. Meaning to say we hardly see sun and it drizzles enough to need an umbrella. Now, although there is OUTSIDE LANDS happening in Golden Gate Park (sorry tourists) about parking, restrictions, and crowded buses and pretty much chaos, I am aiming to experience the following: THURSDAY NIGHT: The pic speaks volumes – from 4-8p.m. I’ll be strolling down Polk Street in the city and maybe I’ll run into some of you in town or from this cool town. FRIDAY NIGHT: Sun, Fun, and a day-escape to Sonoma and/or to  Sebastopol SATURDAY: More search for sun, fun, and just taking it all in   SUNDAY: I am a firm believer you have to experience something at least once – and this sounds amazing – Seeing an outdoor theater version of the film SOUTH PACIFIC in Oakland under the stars: {photo I’ve taken from Sausalito on a typical San Francisco summer day}

danville california day trip

I do step away from San Francisco mostly in the fall months. I suppose I gravitate to smaller towns, just because I crave during this time of the year the good old-fashioned way of living, which really doesn’t exist in San Francisco.  You know, family friendly neighborhoods,  picket fences, colorful trees, a small half a mile long street considered a down town. No major chain stores and the best part an actual neighborhood bookstore, where you can walk in and quietly look over the shelves for that perfect novel to read. I chose going to Danville over this weekend, because of the Danville Fall Festival and I insisted that mother tag along. She fought me at first, being too tired and all, but I insisted and we went to spend a relaxing day being simply simple in the countryside. I couldn’t ask for a better day.
