The last part of our drive up to SF featured the bizarre juxtaposition of a visit to the National Steinbeck Museum followed by a couple of weird hours at an outlet mall.
The Steinbeck Museum was great - the US seems to do these kind of things particularly well, utilising volunteers, and incorporating simple activities for kids to keep them focused while parents can actually read and absorb the more serious material. We saw Steinbeck's RV - and realised that we'd done some of the same route that JS himself did with his dog Charley.
As for the outlet mall, well, now we can say we've been to one. Andrew, Holden & Phoebe all have new Converse sneakers.
And so we drove into San Francisco, a much less daunting and horrible experience than driving into LA. Our hotel for the first three nights was right on Fisherman's Wharf ... details to follow.
