The River trip sounds cool! We may have to try to get together sometime soon. My current E-mail is a company one that all 4 of us use so it's not a good idea to contact me that way. I check these boards atleast 2X a week, at work, so post here. As for San Leandro, Monterey Bay is closer for me here so that's why I mentioned spots over there. I've also tried the West side of the SF bay with good results but most of the good spots I wouldn't take the boys to (too rough of neighborhoods).
