Tourists' Syndrome: Randall Museum & Corona Heights - Bernal Heights, San Francisco

I consider myself fortunate. The 1/2 gallon of milk that was spilled upon my keyboard has left a few keys quite funky-functioning, but that is the extent of the damage so far.

This entry is about the few trips the kids and I made from the financial district to parts of the city that require a train.

On Wednesday, we packed a lunch and hopped a Muni train to Corona Park. The kids hung out at an old-school rusty playground like we used to have in our old neighborhoods. Those playgrounds were rusty even then.

We then ventured up a steep hill to the Randall Museum, a small almost-wildlife preserve located in what appears to be a renovated school. Apparently, this is all run by the local park district. The pictures and video will give the best idea of what the kids did over those two days. I liked both the neighborhoods we visited quite a bit. They were diverse; had lots of culture. You can tell a lot about an area by who hangs at the playgrounds during the day.
