I had half a day of work today, this MLK Day and 2nd Inauguration of President Barack Obama, and was back a little after noon. When I asked The Dragon Boss what he wanted to do with the afternoon, he said he'd like to bike to the Ferry Building to watch the boats depart for Larkspur and Oakland.
So we made sure his Christmas present to me was nice and secure, the big Dutch bike seat in Hup Holland Oranje, tightened the helmet, and headed for Valencia. We took it very slowly, TDB and I did, and made sure we were always in a bike lane, which means we took a right on 17th and a mile or so later, a left on 3rd that brought us across the little bridge to the ballpark, then a right onto the wide, wide sidewalks of the Embarcadero.
TDB didn't say a word for 30 minutes until we slipped under the Bay Bridge where the 3rd Street Rail passed us and he let out a yelp like he does when the J rumbles on by. When we got to the Ferry Building, I got a grilled cheese sandwich from Cowgirl Creamery and he had a lunch of country chicken, along with the pickles he pulled from my bag, and we just hung out, father and son, watching the boats reverse, turn around, and head on out.
