Some more from San Fran

There really were way too many fun things to do in San Fran. I need to come back and visit when I'm not at a conference.

At the conference centre there is a great merry-go-round.  Some day I'm actually going to go and see it during the day... 

Oakland hills had some great little hikes and a beautiful botanical garden. Someday I'm going to go back and actually have time to enjoy the walk through instead of jogging most of my way through it.
