I think Theresa heeded the advice.

Thank you everyone for your advice. I had a wonderful time in San Francisco. I found it to be a beautiful city full of European flair. The selection of cafes and restaurants was more than impressive. I especially loved the selection of Italian cafes in North Beach. The highlight of my dining experiences was Restaurant Gary Danko. The service was simply perfect, as was the atmosphere. I chose the five course chef's tasting menu with wine pairings and truly enjoyed every bite/sip. It was a meal to remember.
As for the weather, I certainly did my research and thought I was prepared. Not! Despite my layers, I remained pretty chilly all week. On Friday, I must have stood in the same place IV mentioned. The wind howled and the fog rolled in and I was chilled to the bone. Nevertheless, I had a great time and hope to return in the near future.

I've had an annual summer gathering with colleagues at the Presidio which is right at the Golden Gate. Despite years of experience, I never seem to bring clothes that are warm enough. I've taken sweaters and fleeces but haven't yet buckled under and admitted to myself that one needs to dress as if to go skiing.

Did you buy a sweatshirt to survive? Now you know why so many sweatshirts are sold in the SF in the summer :-)

No, JEK, I never did purchase that sweatshirt. I can be pretty stubborn. I admit, at one point it seemed like I was wearing every piece of clothing I brought with me (not a chic look at all), and still I was chilly! I clearly packed more for a week long trip in SF than I ever would for a 2 week stay in SBH. I wonder how that could be ;-) Regardless, I'm really not complaining as I loved the city and can't wait to return with my husband in tow.
