On Monday of vacation, we hit the varied transport options of the Bay Area. First up was a ferry ride from Oakland, past the huge cranes unloading containers from trans-ocean ships, to the Ferry Terminal in San Francisco.
The we jumped on the antique streetcars along the Embarcadero (after a very tasty pastry) and rode up to Pier 39 to see the sea lions. Bernadette enjoyed both the streetcar and the ferry. Isaiah? Why even ask.
As we walked toward our next ride, we got a surprise near the Fisherman's Grotto. The driver of this wooden Packard (of Mr. Toad's tours) invited Isaiah to sit and toot the horn. He's a natural (of course).
Then it was on to the Cable Cars. Of course, we got to the Powell/Hyde turnaround at Aquatic Park right after a large group of international high school students. So we waited, and waited while two cars filled up. Isaiah was starting to get tired. So was Bernadette. Still, we eventually got on. And it was a fun ride.
