Fuzzy Rides Tanforan Mall (Sundays In My City)
Fuzzy Rides, have you seen these things at malls? They are electric animal scooters that you can rent for kids or yourself and ride around the mall. They basically look like giant stuffed animals and it’s kind of hard not to smile when you see someone whiz by on one. We’d seen them once before […]

A Walk Along the Embarcadero (Sundays In My City)
On a clear sunny day, going for a walk along the Embarcadero in San Francisco is blissful. Especially if you make your way over to the Ferry Building and get an edible treat (treats not pictured as they were eaten before I remembered to photograph them). The Embarcadero is the eastern waterfront area of the […]
