Shando had some work in San Francisco so we made a day of it, taking our two younger dogs, since the seniors are having mobility issues and we knew we’d be making several stops and going through the hills of San Francisco, which we did traverse repeatedly to get everything done. We took some time to take the scenic route back and forth from Vallejo and minimized only taking the Golden Gate.

Our first stop was in the Potrero Hill area, where Shando used to live years ago.
