Beautiful Sunday

It was absolutely gorgeous here in San Francisco today, with the sun shining bright and beautiful in the sky and a temperature up around 70 degrees. Brent and I took Chloe for a nice walk down the street and around the corner and discovered one of the city's many hidden parks.

Since moving here, we would drive past Grand View Terrace on many occasions and notice nothing out of the ordinary (small victorian homes, apartment buildings). But we have to thank our dear friend Jan for urging us to take the few steps around a small bend in the road and down a small hill. For there we found a peaceful, well tended park hidden right smack in the middle of this urban jungle, the elevation of which is high enough to enjoy breathtaking views of the Castro and downtown SF.

Unfortunately we didn't have our camera and this picture, taken with my cell phone, doesn't do the view - or this beautiful Sunday - any justice.

But a visit to this park was the perfect way to cap off an absolutely lovely weekend. Thanks to Ben, Daryl, Jan, Steve M., Gil, Jose, and Jim for being part of it.
