Web Site Digs Up Little Jewels for City Kids By Heidi Anderson

Bay Area Backroads June 25, 2002   One Day Adventure with Emerald Yeh

So many of us who've lived in the Bay Area for years know about Angel island, just a short boat ride from Tiburon, yet we never make the trip out here. Well, it was a web site of all things that brought us here today, a web site called gokid.org , started by a community of mothers who wanted to open our eyes to all the wonderful resources and places in the Bay Area for families.

"How do you do it, where do you go, where do you park. All the little gritty things. Those are things that parents want to know," says Chris Loughran.

Chris Loughran, Amy Penticoff & Kim Boyd Birmingham were frustrated moms finding it difficult to figure out what to do, and where to go, with their kids.

"Unless you're tied into that Mom, or that parent network, from going to playgrounds and such, you miss so many things that San Francisco has to offer," says Amy.

So, they created a network of their own called GoKid.org , a comprehensive web site with articles, resources and day trips for Bay Area parents.

What We've Heard

"I just wanted to say THANK YOU VERY MUCH for putting a page together that parents can go to and find something for the kids. We as parents can run out of ideas at times. My girl friend and I have 5 kids from 12 to 4yrs old. It can be hard to find things to do because of the age range. I hope with the help of you web site we will have better adventures."
