Trip to San Francisco

On Saturday, we decided to go up to the city for fleet week. We debated about driving or taking BART up to the city. We ended up taking BART. Unfortunately, we left so late, we only caught the blue angles on the ride up, barely seeing the planes' tracks in the sky.

But, for the kids, the BART ride was the best part. They love going in the train - such an adventure. Coming out of the Embarcadero BART station, the kids were amazed at the height of the buildings. Abigail kept saying that buildings were an amazing fifty feet high! I think I tried to explain how high they were, but it didn't matter. They were amazed, looking up at sights like this:




We took a trip to a pier, watched some boats, and listened to a clarinetist play. We started to walk north the length of piers, then realized the kids were very hungry. We turned back to the Ferry Building to eat.

To the kids' favorite part: BART - Abigail tickling Benjamin:

We had dinner at Grott's Roadside, which has very tasty shakes, yummy burgers, and costs a little too much to be called a 'burger place,' especially considering your food comes on a metal tray. They try to be cleaver about this and call it tray gourmet. Clever, eh?

On the way home from eating dinner - I love the spontaneity of this picture.

  1. I love going to the city. Every time I go I wonder why I don't get up there more often. I'm jealous that your new digs put you that much closer to la ciudad. Looks like the kids had a great time.
