Fun For Kids In The San Francisco Bay Area | |
---|---|
Lots of neat things for kids to do. They"ll particularly enjoy the Steam Trains, Merry Go Round, and Zoo in Tilden Park, watching the dogs run free at Pt. Isabel, seeing people fish on the Berkeley Pier, playing in the discovery park on the Marina, or learn to drive at the Golden Gate Fields parking lot.
The California State Railroad Museum (CSRR) in Sacramento is a must see. It's a wonderful museum, with great exhibits. Be sure to see the huge Southern Pacific cab forward. It was designed so that the engineers wouldn't be "smoked out" when operating in the sierra tunnels. For a special treat, take Amtrak from Emeryville or Jack London Square (or connect in Richmond via BART) to Sacramento. It takes you past the Mothball Fleet in Suisun Bay, and the station is only a few blocks from the museum. Enjoy yourself! Let us know what other sites your kids enjoy!

We Value Your Business And Appreciate Your Referrals | Almost all our clients have been referred to us by their friends, family, local neighborhood Realtor, or found us on the Internet. One of the nice benefits of a referral based business is that we get to work with people who are motivated, financially qualified, highly educated, decisive, pleasant, and have interesting backgrounds (one client won a Gold medal at the Olympics). What's particularly rewarding is how many of our buyers and sellers have become friends.
If you're planning to buy or sell a home, we'd appreciate the opportunity to show you how you'll benefit from our services. And, if you know a friend, neighbor, or family member who is buying, selling, or relocating anywhere in the United States, we'll be happy to check our extensive database of highly qualified Realtors and refer you to a great local Realtor. |
