Spontaneity up north

After a restful morning we headed up to Oakland for the day. First stop was the Lake Merritt farmer's market, one of our favorite East Bay pastimes. We walked around noshing on tasty fruit samples (this baby loves peaches) and managed to walk away with only avocados.



Then we met up with some good friends for Ethiopian lunch.



(she shoots she scores!)

After lunch we drove to Jack London square on a whim and saw someone running to catch the ferry so we followed and jumped aboard! Rosie's first time on a boat!

(sunny and windy!)

Stars were aligned for us today because we managed a private, 5 minute bonus trip on the ferry. Then we walked around the wharves, got a clam chowder bread bowl, and took Rosie on her first MUNI ride on the F train back to the ferry building.

As per usual Rosie was a ham and made friends with everyone around. It was a beautiful day with a beautiful ending on the bay!
