( continues...) Isotopes game. How many cities have a minor league team that got its name from The Simpsons?

Other activity options include the St. James Tearoom, the Rattlesnake Museum, or Buffista Laser Tag or Bumper Boats at the Hinkle Family Fun Center.

There are also some nice brunch places not far south of SFO -- not that I can remember the names of any of them, but Perkins has taken Matilda and me to several and they were both nice and seemed like they'd be accommodating of largeish groups.

(Just trying to expand the options to stuff that might be easier for Perkins; I know she's only a maybe, but if she *could* make it that'd be awesomecakes.)

If in SF, I'd vote for Ti Couz, yummy real French crepes just one block from the 16th and Mission BART station (with the Pork Store Cafe just two doors up in case Ti Couz looks too crowded).

Great pimpage, Raq! I'm hoping you go for mid-June since school doesn't get out for most of us until then.

The Sunday Washington Post had a big article about St. Louis in its travel section. I'll try to find a link - and login - but it didn't come up in my first couple of searches.

Lots of St. Louis press this weekend, as a matter of fact. Though um, not so much for the pimping.

oh, I'm not pimping St. Louis - just thought I'd throw in that there was an article.

That's sweet, JZ, and thank you, but once you get south of Millbrae, which is pretty close to SFO, you run out of BART, which makes everything more complicated.

Thanks! I'm actually putting together a pimp post this week, so I'll try to dig for that as well.

Also, my baby sister lives in Albuquerque, and works at Sadie's, which I think is this place right here: [link]

Yay for ABQ pimpage. I would love it if you guys came out my way (although by mid June I'll be back midwest probably; we booked a camp this summer.) Can testify to most of the above, especially re: the ease and niceness of the airport and the awesomeness of the Aquarium, which is also on the same grounds of a nice botanical garden which includes a great Japanese garden. You can also take the train over from the aquarium to the zoo, but the zoo is not as awesome.

There is also some pretty easy travel up to Santa Fe, which is a great town, but can be expensive to stay in, so day trip might be a great option there. Santa Fe has the Georgia O'Keeffe museum, and some other great art stuff.
