San Francisco

 We took a weekend away and went to San Francisco with Geri and Kirk.  Our plan, to see The Lion King and the Disney Family Museum and to relax!
The Lion King was playing at the Orpheum Theater on Market street in San Francisco.  It is a big, old, beautiful, and enchanting theater.  Its biggest drawback, no leg room!!  That was a small price to pay for the fun of watching this play.  The costuming was pretty amazing, the singing was great and some of the acting was pretty funny.  We enjoyed ourselves even though we got wet in a downpour on our one block walk to the theater!
That was Saturday night.  During the day on Saturday, we went to the Disney Family Museum, dedicated to Walt Disney and his amazing life.  I learned about his talent, his business acumen, his dedicated drive, but most of all, I learned about his love and loyalty to his family, his friends, and his employees.  It was truly inspiring to walk through this museum and read all about him and see his life in pictures and stories.  I highly recommend this museum to anyone visiting in the San Francisco area.
We also enjoyed spending some time with Kari at her new apartment on Friday night.  I taught her how to make chicken parmesan and we ate a yummy dinner.  On Saturday, we picked her up and went to dinner, then she took us to the Bart station.  At midnight, she came back to Bart and picked us up after our evening at the play.  What a wonderful daughter!
We had a relaxing, fun weekend and I look forward to many more years of traveling with my hubby and our great friends.
