Duffy's Trip to San Francisco - Part 29 - Exploring the Presidio - June 13, 2015

We had a little time to go to a lookout in the Presidio.

Since we are this close to the road, I'm not sure if this place was peaceful, but it was kind of neat.


Good places to sit, too!


"Helloooo down there!"

Duffy's Trip to San Francisco - Part 23 - To the Walt Disney Family Museum - June 13, 2015

"Oh boy! We are almost there!!"

"Also, there's water. Hi!"


"We're here! We're here!"


"We are waiting."

"And waiting."

Awww! This was inside. I don't know if it was because it was between Memorial Day and 4th of July?

"Two tickets, please."

The museum is split up into several rooms, which gives it a bit more of an intimate feel (but hinders progressing back into previous rooms...though you can go around and go through again if you need to).



Yes, Walt Disney drove an ambulance (not this ambulance) in World War I (after lying about his age; oh dear).


"Mr. Disney was naughty, but I guess it worked out all right."

Duffy's Trip to San Francisco - Part 22 - To the Presidio - June 13, 2015

Oh no! Today is the day we leave San Francisco!

Goodbye to our lovely room!

We are walking...

...down Lombard Street...

...and walking...

"Oh! The Palace of Fine Arts!"

To....the Presidio!

"That was a bit of a long walk."

This dome should be familiar to anyone who visited Disney California Adventure back in the day. They built it for the "Golden Dreams" show and repurposed it in Ariel's Undersea Adventure.

"Whoa! Philo T. Farnsworth!'

"I'll bet that is where Professor Farnsworth on Futurama got his name!"

"WHOOOA. Yoda it is!"
"I was trying to mime his motion...not sure it worked very well...I don't have a staff.  :( "

These old military buildings were utilitarian yet pretty.
