On of the the half-days for the kids last week (teacher/parent conferences), Gina and I stole up to Napa for a quick breakfast and coffee. We stopped at Oxbow Public Market where Gina found what must be the largest real pumpkin. It probably grew in Oregon, but the market wouldn't stop you from thinking it came from the fertile grounds of Napa. After picking up the kids, we drove into San Francisco to take them to the Mission to walk along Valencia Street to visit Dave Egger's Writer's Workship & Pirate Store, Paxton Gate, Dandelion Chocolate, a bookstore, playground, and a couple other stops. Typical SF visit, I guess: part literary, part gastronomy.
