The Walt Disney Family Museum

One of the favorite spots in San Francisco is The Walt Disney Family Museum.  Being a big Disney fan, I frequently come here to learn more about Walt Disney  and how he came to be.  Surprisingly, not many people know about this museum and there are also those that expect a Disneyland museum but this is a place about Walt Disney and his life.  I bought my tickets for this weekend to see the All Aboard: A Celebration of Walt's Trains and thankfully it was quite quiet for a Sunday afternoon.  The exhibit was beautiful with artwork of trains along the walls as well as a few train models on display.  Unfortunately, I was unable to take photos but I'll leave that as a surprise for those that want to see the exhibit in person.  If you're in the area and if you're a Disney fan, you must visit the museum and the special train exhibit while it's on display. Tickets are $5 on top of general entrance and the trains exhibit is on display until 2/9/15.

Here are a few photos to whet your appetite and I hope everyone is having a great start to this new year.

Great Dickens Christmas Fair

For the 6th year in a row, I had the opportunity to attend the Great Dickens Christmas Fair in San Francisco.  It has been a tradition for us to attend everyday on the first weekend of December to help us get into the Christmas spirit.  For those that are unaware of the Great Dickens Christmas Fair, it's basically a fair set in Victorian London.  The moment you step through the entrance, your senses are delightfully filled with smells of roasting chestnuts, cinnamon, and nutmeg.  There are Christmas decorations on every surface and storefront.
