Just in case you’re not aware of its existence and want to add it to your list of things to do the next time you’re in San Francisco, there’s a Walt Disney Family Museum in the Presidio, right next to the Golden Gate Bridge. We went there in 2014 to see a Mary Blair exhibition and were surprised by how much we ended up enjoying the museum itself, who is more for adults than children. It was there that I had a moment, realizing that yes, at one point, Disney was just a guy called Walt who drew a mouse with a pencil on a piece of paper.

Also, a little anecdotal, but when I was still living in Paris, in Montmartre, our favorite theater was the Studio 28, which among other endearing traits had funky-weird-colorful light fixtures designed by Jean Cocteau, who was the theater’s “godfather”.

My daughter graduated from SFSU. We live near Anaheim. Home to DLand Resort. The drive south from SF down the Pacific Coast is as adventure within itself. Big Sir is magical. A mountain range drive that hugs the blue Pacific Ocean. Say what you want about LA traffic, but as soon as you hit Ventura, you'll love Southern California.

Oh, and Taco Bell Drawing Club Visit for the win. ❤️
