After all, we know that carving out "me" time will be harder to do after the little one arrives. Whether you're a local or just visiting, San Francisco offers plenty of relaxing things to do. Here's a list of 5 that we think will leave you feeling pampered!  1. Have a picnic at the Palace of Fine Arts, Yerba Buena Gardens or Washington Square Park. (On Sunday's check out [Off the Grid: Picnic at the Presidio](http://offthegridsf.com/markets/picnic#about) - food truck heaven). 2. Rent a rowboat at [Stow Lake](http://www.stowlakeboathouse.com/) in Golden Gate Park (make sure to bring someone with upper arm strength). 3. Enjoy afternoon tea at [The Rotunda](http://www.neimanmarcus.com/stores/store.jsp?storeId=12/SF) at Neiman Marcus. 4. Get your make-up done. We love Benefit, Bobby Brown (Kimberly at Neiman Marcus is awesome) and Mac's new Powell Street flagship store. 5. Book the [Pregnant & Pampered SF Hotel Package](https://details.personalityhotels.com/pregnant-pampered-sf) at Personality Hotels. We'll keep you comfortable and happy with a Ghirardelli sundae, spa treatment coupon, sparkling cider, a body pillow, Tums, and much more!  0 Comments [Click here to read/write comments](https://info.personalityhotels.com/blog/bid/197203/Pregnant-and-Pampered#comments-listing) Tags: [packages](https://info.personalityhotels.com/blog/topic/packages), [san francisco](https://info.personalityhotels.com/blog/topic/san-francisco), [What to do](https://info.personalityhotels.com/blog/topic/what-to-do), [travel tips](https://info.personalityhotels.com/blog/topic/travel-tips) ## [San Francisco Packing Tips](https://info.personalityhotels.com/blog/bid/161521/San-Francisco-Packing-Tips) Posted by [Megan Brandt](https://info.personalityhotels.com/blog/author/megan-brandt) on Thu, Jan 09, 2014 @ 10:07 AM - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) Packing anxiety is a thing, it's a *real* problem, right? You're so excited for your trip to SF and want to look absolutely fabulous the entire time - then, suddenly you feel completely overwhelmed. Sound familiar? Well don't worry, we're here to coach you through this... Let's get one thing clear first. San Francisco weather is highly unpredictable, no matter what season it is. Even the different districts and neighborhoods have their own microclimates. In just 7 miles, from one end of the city to the other, San Francisco can surprise you with thick fog, patches of sun, wind tunnels, and possible areas of rain.  **So, for winter, we have a few tips to ease your packing anxiety.** (Chances are these tips will be appropriate no matter when you visit, thanks to SF's ever-changing conditions). -  Layers are key - both lightweight and heavier layers: t-shirts, warm sweaters, leggings, scarves, hoodies, maybe even gloves.
