I'll get things started. A couple of years ago, I took mom on one of those Hornblower's Cruises where you go around the SF Bay in a big boat. They serve a bit of food and you get to see the city sky line, Alcatraz, Angel Island--all that. She really enjoyed it.

Probably the best place--and less waiting for tables and all that.

sounds really nice. Moma Flower get's sea sick so that wouldn't really work for me. I haven't really taken Moma Flower anywhere because of limited funds and little girl syndrome, but my brother Stephen took her to SF Opera a few years ago before the recession put a damper on everything and she really liked it.

The SF Opera does sound really nice. My mother would like that, but its really not in my price range.

But it does change the discussion when it comes to going out, etc. You know extra cost, extra work. Etc.

You're right about Golden Gate Park. I've been on outings there plenty of times with the kids. Breat sun and lot's to do. Probably the most family friendly area in the city.
