Entertaining the toddler while waiting for the bus.

During the week we walk and bike to our regular destinations like the library, the YMCA , and for grocery shopping and other errands.

We get restless on the weekends and want to get out of our normal routine. To get further afield we often use public transit. We love the bus and the BART and are lucky to live somewhere with good transit options.

In recent weeks we have gone to the Berkeley hills and Lawrence Hall of Science, Indian Rock and the Alameda Circle Fountain, to San Francisco to visit the Yuerba Buena Gardens (more fountains – Fern loves water!) and the great park there and the Children’s Creativity Museum nearby. Last weekend we took the BART to West Oakland for the Bay Area Anarchist Bookfair.

Buses, BART, feet — and strollers!
