We first came to San Francisco almost 2 decades ago on a fine summer day.  Mind you, walking at the SF Embarcardero in July meant wearing a North Face fleece jacket and a beanie… but we fell in love with Karl the Fog, and the hint of sunshine peeking through the Golden Gate Bridge.  It didn’t take long before we made San Francisco our permanent home, where our kids now revere it with the same passion as we still do. We can write an entire book on what to do in San Francisco, with its irresistible weather year-round and plethora of activities for every season.

Golden Gate Park is beautiful all year round, but it manages to outdo itself at springtime, when the magnolias and cherry blossoms are in full bloom at the San Francisco Botanical Garden (free for residents). Once in a while, we also take a detour at California Academy of Sciences, where the kids enjoy the underground coral reef while the…
