Events
The Tilden Steam Train will be open all next week, presumably due to spring break. It's usually only open on the weekends. Was thinking it would be cool to hit it up for Monday's activity. There are picnic sites right across the street, and I'm pretty sure they have grills.
Heading to super franks on friday. They close three rooms for kids 5 and under, $7 per kid.
Getting there around 10-1030am lunch at noonish.

This park rocks! There is a great toddler area with plenty of stuff to climb on and an off leash dog park right next to the play area. There was also plenty of Nice things to look at the last time we went so that's always a bonus. They also have grills for our barbecuing pleasure.

Heading up to Redwood park this morning. Packing a lunch and some cold ones, i'll be at the play structure.
We are a group of dads with children ages 0-4 years old who still take an afternoon nap.
Play 11-12pm
Lunch 12-12:30pm
Go home for lunch.
We will have a sign with East Bay Dads near the picnic table.
It's the playground that's behind the dog run and basketball court that are under the 24 freeway at Claremont. Note that Hardy dead-ends and does NOT intersect with Claremont. There is plenty of parking on Claremont just before Hudson street. There are no grills but tons of restaurants nearby that sell beer such as Ben & Nicks Pub, Lanesplitters, Zachary's Pizza and Cactus (Mexican).
