Mission Impossible

Your mission, Rai, which you chose to accept, was to convince Babcia and Dziadek to spend the weekend here in San Francisco with us instead of going back to Pleasanton. The plan: take them down to beach, up to Sutro Park, and a little bit along the Land's End trail. The weather co-operated -- it was a gorgeously warm afternoon in the city.
From our perspective, this was a mission that could not fail. No wind, no fog, only blue sky and the warm late-day sun beating down on us. The Beach was amazing, the waves large and a beautiful shade of blue. From Sutro Park, the panoramic view couldn't be better. Along the Land's End trail, the view of the Golden Gate in the nearly sunset light was unbeatable. This one was in the bag. How could anyone turn down a weekend in San Francisco after experiencing this. It was perfection and a comfortable and free suite just blocks from the Ocean awaited your Babcia and Dziadek should they choose to accept it and why wouldn't they?
Well, they did. We couldn't convince them to spend the weekend with us here. We are all left with sadness in our hearts including your grandparents who had all kinds of plans -- an opera, jazz at Yoshi's, and some wonderful dinners out. With this very likely being your Babcia and Dziadek's last visit to the Bay Area for what may be many years, we are left heartbroken. Still, we tried our best, showing off the beauty just outside our doorstep on a perfect day in the city, and after all, that's all we could do.
