We packed tight, so there's not much room for fabric - Britex may have to be it for this trip....thanks for the bathroom tip, since I may have to take Lucas with me!Dr. Fun (AKA Sister)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07332652703590699186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2386321676311629286.post-45348068716006693552013-08-06T08:23:17.517-05:002013-08-06T08:23:17.517-05:00Britex is a LOT of fun, but beware, they don't...Britex is a LOT of fun, but beware, they don't have a public bathroom! I had to go across the street. So, go before you go. As I recall, the first floor is mostly wools, they are beautiful, but not practical for where we are. Then there is a floor of notions, buttons, etc. The top floor is remnants I think, but some of them are quite large. I don't remember what's on the other floor. Fabrix is a short bus ride away and is across the street and down from another fabric store that I can't remember the name of. Stone Mountain Daughter is across the bay in Berkeley. Maybe you could talk the boys into riding the train over and they could check out the infamous UC-Berkeley campus. The girls and I attended a wedding in the Arboretum on the campus (at the very tippy top of the hill, the view was OUTSTANDING!) We stayed in the Hotel Durrant where part of the movie "The Graduate" was filmed. Lots of interesting memorabilia on display. <br /><br />Whatever you decide to do, it will be fun!<br /><br />RobbieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2386321676311629286.post-33075892486060693802013-08-05T20:37:23.707-05:002013-08-05T20:37:23.707-05:00Ooh - tough with a 2-year old!

I'll try to be brave!Dr. Fun (AKA Sister)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07332652703590699186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2386321676311629286.post-46425011891351100862013-08-05T20:25:23.268-05:002013-08-05T20:25:23.268-05:00I'm so jealous. I've been there a couple ...I'm so jealous. I've been there a couple of times when Bart was there on business. I just love just walking and site seeing in San Francisco. My first trip we stayed in Larkspur and I took the ferry over to the city every day. My second time there was when Jessica was 2. She cramped my style a bit. Not easy navigating the city with a 2 year old. It's been a long time since I was there. She is 15 now.<br /><br />Don't do what I did at Britex. I was just so overwhelmed that I did not buy anything. I went to each of the floors and looked around, but could not focus on anything.<br /><br />When we went to LA last year, I made up for that and bought a ton. I'm still trying to figure out what to sew with all of it. <br /><br />I'll be excited to see what you buy.BeckyWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14978486228919306813noreply@blogger.com
