We heard many people would be off at Burning Man on Labor Day weekend, and we apparently heard wrong. We fought the crowds at Golden Gate Park and eventually found a quiet playground for a picnic and play. Afterwards we got extra sandy at Ocean Beach and drove across the road for dinner at Park Chalet where Mom and Dad enjoyed some good wine & beer, and Nate and Julie enjoyed the climbing trees nearby. We took the long way home, visiting the Golden Gate Bridge and the stop and go traffic through North Beach.
