Before showing our children the Golden Gate Bridge, we drove through Golden Gate Park to Ocean Beach and lunched at the Beach Chalet. With its live music, beach blankets, and a refreshing ocean breeze, the restaurant's picnic sitting area turned out to be the perfect way to introduce the family to Northern California. After chilling on the lawn, eating yummy food and befriending many a four-legged creature, we took the kids "across the street" to experience the Pacific Ocean!
