I was blown away. I was driven to the airport when I saw the cemetery. It was so huge that I stop to spend time inside. So many soldiers dead for their country. Amazing to see all these tombs. Respect and honor to all heroes. RIP

Nice local hiking experience. Beautiful views and moderate hikes. I was just there on Sunday and hiked the Summit Loop Trail. That trail was recently cut back so it’s nice and wide so no worries about poison ivy. The loop trail is the long way to get to the top, but not very steep. You can see the SSF, Daly City and San Francisco views from the top. Bring water and enjoy. No dogs allowed.

SFO Museum

Created in 1980, SFO Museum was the first cultural institution of its kind located in an international airport. Granted accreditation by the American Alliance of Museums in 1999, the Museum has the distinction of being the only accredited museum in an airport. Today, SFO Museum features twenty-five galleries throughout the Airport terminals displaying a rotating schedule of art, history, science, and cultural exhibitions, as well as the San Francisco Airport Commission Aviation Library and Louis A. Turpen Aviation Museum.

SFO Museum - Always a Great Way to Spend Time, Before a Flight In July, we were back to SFO, for our return flight to Phoenix, after a couple of days of meetings, and we had gotten to the airport, with plenty of time on our hands. On the way to find dinner, somewhat near our departure gate, we took in the SFO Museum display of “The Modern Consumers of the 1950's – Art & Style. This display runs for much of the West Pier in T3, with dozens of displays. Back in January, we had taken this exhibit in, but it was just being set up. It was now complete, with many displays, that were not installed, six months before - it almost felt like to different exhibits, except for the automobile advertising art, along the walls, by the moving sidewalks. Now, when one thinks of a museum, a single building usually comes to mind, filled with exhibits. The SFO Museum is more like the Smithsonian, with separate buildings, or more accurately, displays in several buildings, and concourses of San Francisco International Airport. The main portion of the SFO Museum is in the International A Terminal, with a library, research facilities, displays and aviation exhibits - we have never been there, because we always fly United Airlines, so come into, and go out of Terminal 3, or International G, and the A & G Terminals are not really connected, beyond Security - one day, with time on our hands, we WILL explore this area. In the meantime, we just continue to enjoy the exhibits in T3, and International G (a nice exhibit on gold, some years back). In T3, there are two sections - a large, changing exhibit down the middle of part of the West Pier (where we spent most of our time), and then a permanent art exhibit on the wall of the East Pier. We paused a bit to take this in, as well, since our departure gate changed to the East Pier. However, we always get to see this, as most of our domestic arrivals come into the East Pier. The “The Modern Consumers of the 1950's” exhibit covers the designs of products from the 1950's, through displays and art work, and, as always, is very well curated and displayed. Over the decades, we have seen probably 20 different exhibits, and all have been well done. I feel sorry for the travelers, who rush past the SFO Museum exhibits, and never really stop to see them. This is one exhibit, that older generations can likely relate to, but then younger folk should find interesting, as well. Because most displays in the West Pier line both sides of the walkway, we usually try to see one side, when we arrive, and the other, just across the walkway, when we depart. On this visit, we had the time to just wander, and try to figure out what had been added, since January - for us, this is a must do, when at SFO, in T3.
