Goodbye, February! It's the first of March — one step closer to spring. I think we should all take some time to treat ourselves this weekend. Let's dig into the sales and events list and buy ourselves a little treat or maybe attend a gallery opening. We owe it to ourselves after surviving another winter month. Check out all the sales and events in the Weekend Guide, pass it on and be sure to send us your own sale or event for future editions of the Guide.

Our renovation officially started on Wednesday after work. We packed up the kitchen and found storage for everything. We pushed the new refrigerator into the hallway and put boxes on top of it. The dishes and small appliances got squished into the dining room china cabinet. Cookbooks went under our bed. More boxes got stashed in the hall closet and guest bedroom (which was already packed with boxes containing our new appliances, cabinets, chandelier and sink).

San Francisco is a city of rich history and culture, and as anyone planning a visit to the City by the Bay realizes, it can be difficult to narrow down all the places to visit and thing to do while there. Aside from the usual tourist spots like the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz, and Fisherman's Wharf, San Francisco also offers historic architecture on nearly every corner, a serene Japanese Tea Gardens, the glorious Golden Gate Park, alongside countless cultural and artistic institutions. Need help fitting it all into one vacation? You might need an app for your smartphone (or tablet) to serve as your guide. More

The latest renderings of San Francisco's Museum of Modern Art expansion show firm Snøhetta adding a 10-story concrete tower behind the original museum. The addition will add about 130,000 square feet in new exhibition space. By adding terraces, indoor/outdoor galleries, and admissions-free zones, the museum will be open to the street and allow for more art-filled public space. The expansion is scheduled to be completed in 2016.
