Summer Saturday in the City

After a busy week last week at the hideaway, it was refreshing to come back to the city to relax. A little ironic, right?

From May to October, Yerba Buena Gardens has free events and concerts every weekend.Today Marcus Shelby Jazz Orchestra performed from 1-2:30 and we went with a few hundred of our other SF neighbors to check it out.

A view from above the Martin Luther King Jr Waterfall looking at SFMOMA (San Francisco Museum of Modern Art) and the PacBell Building (built in 1925) behind it.
