Daddy Day Hike #3 - The Presidio

Our Daddy Day Hike this month was a historic walk through the beautiful San Francisco Presidio. No longer an active army base, the Presidio is maintained by the National Parks and who keep the 11 miles of historic paths, buildings and trails that have some of the prettiest views of the Bay. We started on the Ecological Trail up to the Julius Kahn playground near El Polin Springs. We picnicked at the playground after the kids swung back-to-back on the swings.
After lunch, we continued through the Cypress Grove to the historic Lovers' Lane.

We encountered a couple of kids selling their "home made" lemonade and cookies from their decorated Lemonade Stand along Lovers' Lane. Who could turn down a couple of entrepreneurial kids?? The cookies and lemonade were good and a bargain at 50 cents!
