grandparenting

down and dirty

Bay seniors have great resources for entertaining/educating their digital grandkids. This Saturday July 7, for example, East Bay Parks is inviting everyone to Crab Cove in Alameda to learn more about mud than just recipes for mud pies. You’ll explore the bathhouse aquarium, then tromp through the surrounding mudflats. It’s from 10:30 to 11 am […]

docs of the bay

Bay seniors with animal loving grandkids will hear a chorus of “awwws” when they visit the Marine Mammal Center at Sausalito’s Fort Cronkhite. This weekend the Center, a kind of hospital and rehab for sea creatures, is holding one of their monthly Marine Science Sundays with a special focus on sea lions. Patients generally include […]

al fresco flicks

Bay grandparents who prefer the scents of nature rather than the hot perfume of popcorn wafting through a multiplex, should consider taking their little ones to an outdoor movie. This Friday, Disney’s farcical fairy tale “Enchanted” plays in the sylvan glen that is Mill Valley’s Old Mill Park. The screening starts at 8 and is […]

go for a spin

Even Bay seniors with decent memories may not realize that the Napa Valley was an agricultural region long before the first grape vine was ever sown. As evidence I submit Bale Grist Mill on Highway 29 three miles north of uber chic St. Helena. This water powered mill was built in 1846 for local farmers […]

farm out the kids

 Bay seniors who’d like their grandkids to try their uncalloused little hands at life on a farm should check out the action at Ardenwood in Fremont. On Sunday May13 at 11 at a special “farm chores” event, the kids will be cracking corn, feeding animals and checking for chicken eggs. East Bay Parks is always […]

just kidding

Bay seniors whose grandchildren are more familiar with chevre than with Kraft American Singles should note that Saturday April 21 is the 3rd Annual Goat Festival at the Ferry Building. Besides the array of goats milk cheeses, yogurts and ice creams to sample there will be cooking demonstrations as well as a small herd of […]

golden geezer

Bay seniors don’t have to be reminded of our most awesome icon. We celebrate it every time we cross it. The Golden Gate Bridge’s silver anniversary is happening next month starting Sunday May 27 and though I wish there were a few more laser fireworks and other dazzlements from Burning Man artists, there are 75 […]

spaced out

Bay seniors who recall the pioneering thrill of the early days of the US Space Program are invited to relive those glory days. Down the Peninsula at Moffett Field, NASA Ames headquarters is still in business and open to visitors Tuesdays-Fridays from 10-4 and free of charge. At the Exploration Center’s Imax-ish theater sit down […]
