Our adventure to the city!

Last Saturday I finally had a whole day off so we decided to go on a little family adventure. My mom goes down to the Farmer's Market at the Ferry Building in SF every Saturday morning (for those that have never been, I highly recommend it.....nothing beats it). We have gone before to meet her with the kids,but this time we thought we woudl add a little kick to it. We did our part for the earth that day and took full advantage of all forms of public transportation. The kids had their first ferry ride from Jack London Square to AT&T park. We were suppose to take the ferry straight into the Ferry Building, but we missed it due to a really long line, who knew so many people had the same idea as us. Thankfully it was a game day so caught hat ferry a few minutes later. Chris really enjoyed being on the boat, running around and looking at all the sailboats in the water. It turned out to be a good thing going into the ball park, we were then able to hope on Muni and take that down the Embarcadero to the Farmers Market. Chris loved the train. We picked a beautiful day to be in the city, walk thru the market and enjoy a great lunch. Chris was able to get a balloon monkey at lunch, and that was a highlight. The ferry back was leaving from Pier 41....thus another opportunity for more public transportation. We road on a very crowded street car down to Pier 41 to barley catch the ferry back. The kids were beat at this point so it was a very long ride home. All in all they had a great time. I do have to say I DON'T recommend changing a diaper on a bumpy ferry...not a pretty scene.
