Happy President's Day!
We said goodbye to our friends today... Again... Macys, we miss you! We're so glad we got to spend a little bit of time with you when you were here (even if it did all revolve around food)!
After breakfast with Molly and the Macy ladies, we decided to head to San Francisco for the day. B's birthday is tomorrow, and San Francisco is one of his favorite places to what better way to spend the day before his birthday than with his favorite people in his favorite place?The day was about showing the kids different forms of transportation and just having fun! We drove to the ferry building in Larkspur and took the ferry to San Francisco. We'd never been to the 'new' ferry terminal, so it was neat to see what they've done there.
After a quick bite to eat at Noah's Bagels, we headed down to the subway and rode up a couple of stops to Union Square where we caught the cable car. I'm not sure the kids were too impressed with the subway... Part of it could be that as a mom I'm mortified by all of the germs that are lurking in the dingy subway stations and was a little manic about them not touching things, etc.
We waited in line about 20 minutes for the Cable Car and rode it all the way to Ghirardelli Square.
From there we walked to Pier 39 with a stop along the way for 
After watching the sea lions and checking out the sights around the bay on a clear, crisp San Francisco day, we boarded the street car and rode back to the ferry terminal.
Not only was it the kids' first ride on a street car, but it was the first time they've gotten to stand up while on any type of moving vehicle. YIKES! 
A good time was had by all, but after LOTS of walking, five modes of transportation, one fight on the street car (don't ask) and dinner at California Pizza Kitchen, we were ALL ready for bed! Happy Birthday, B! We love you!
