The Pacific Ocean
Thanksgiving Day opened a new chapter for the Railsback family. This is our first year of the “holidays without Mom”.
Frine, Guy and Nancy at the Cliff House
Thankfully Guy arranged for a five o’clock dinner at The Cliff House. The weather was glorious and we had plenty of time to explore Golden Gate Park before dinner. The park has survived decades of expansion in San Francisco and still provides an amazing haven for retreats from the city.
Thanksgiving 2014
It proved to be a perfect setting for us to reunite with our childhood. We both tried to remember times being there in our childhood but could mostly only remember going to Playland. The roller coaster the fun house with the burlap slides and crazy mirrors. Playland is now covered with condos and the Cliff House has been remodeled a number of times. Maybe we never had a meal at the Cliff House as children but it is now a landmark for us. Spectacular views and seemingly endless eating.
Thanksgiving has now passed and I am trying my best to just let the “Season” unfold and accept it’s “newness”. I’m realizing it can be a tough sled to pull.
