In January, I bought tickets for the Walt Disney Family Museum through travelzoo. Since they are expiring Wednesday, today was our very last opportunity to visit this amazing monument to a truly incredible man- Walt.

| From Mickey Mouse to Snow White, from Mary Poppins to Disneyland, Walt Disney’s artistry and imagination helped define 20th-century America. This Museum brings his legacy to life and invites viewers to find their own creative inspiration in his story. I had anticipated this visit and was not disappointed. Walt was an extremely interesting man. |

| Walt Disney used to bring his children to Griffith
Park quite often. It is believed that these visits were great inspirations to his idea and design of Disneyland. This bench was one he would sit on while waiting for the carousel ride to end. |

| When Walt died in 1966, the world wept and after seeing all the tributes made me cry. |

| Lunch was at Southern Pacific Brewing which owes its name to the Southern Pacific railroad
line that ran down Harrison Street in the early 1900s, transporting the
products of San Francisco factories and craftspeople to points
throughout the West. A ten thousand square foot warehouse located in
what was once the Mission’s industrial heart, the building itself is a
testament to the area’s history. Proprietor and San Francisco native
Chris Lawrence has lovingly renovated this one-time machine shop into a
bright, expansive bar, restaurant and brewery. It is so cool to be in old structures with interesting histories that give neighborhoods character and teach us about our past. |

Afterward, we spent the afternoon perusing The Goodwill it was a really fun Sunday with the family.

This day is not surprising. It ended at a brewery. I have never heard of the Walt museum. It reminds me I know so little about him. I only know that he liked to make people happy. He would probably be surprised at the entrance prices, that does not make me very happy!
