Great post, Debbie.
Here are a couple of SF walking tours that I listed on my What a Trip blog if anyone has time while they are in San Francisco.

Awesome post Debbie. I live here and I know I'll bookmark this one for the future for my 6 and 2 year olds. This summer is the summer of "staycation" for us!

Thanks Nancy! What a great resource.
Elliott, I'll be using some of my time in SF to research a few new ideas, and I'll update the city guides within a couple weeks after I return home, so be sure to check back.

Good tip about how to miss the hills. They are plentiful.
