New event website for SF families

This interactive site has tens of thousands of family activities for kids here in the San Francisco Bay Area. The goal was not only to provide one place for moms/dads to
look for what's out there, but to quickly narrow down the options and find
just the right one.

Check out the filters and the breathtakingly easy-to-use calendar view -- it's like the kayak.com of kid activities. Oh, and then you can sign in with one click and your Facebook credentials to post your plans to your Wall.

Our target city for launch is San Francisco, but we've already started
expanding to the Bay Area due to requests from our pilot moms and
businesses. There's nothing to stop us from adding Prenatal Yoga in San
Diego, Free Museum Day in D.C., or Mommy & Me Fly-Fishing in Bozeman.

Please pass this along to anyone in your network who has kids, who knows
people who have kids, or who was ever a kid themselves.

Picnic and a train...

The Golden Gate Express Exhibit @ The Conservatory of Flowers is the perfect setting for a picnic in Golden Gate Park.

All aboard The Golden Gate Express for a San Francisco holiday experience like no other! This winter, the Conservatory of Flowers premieres its first garden railway exhibition. It's a celebration of the city of San Francisco as model G-gauge trains wend their way through a lush landscape of dwarf plants and steam past mini versions of the city's landmark buildings. From Mission Dolores to the Golden Gate Bridge, Coit Tower to Chinatown's dragon gate, replicas of San Francisco's most famous places are set amongst miniature gardens and parks to create a magical setting for this special holiday attraction. Visitors will also enjoy a vintage train station seating area, appearances by costumed conductors and interpretive materials about the development of San Francisco and its railways. So, gather the family and get on track. The Golden Gate Express is a must see destination!

Here's the website with more information:
