The Whimmy City








We love our Whim Days in the City. Today, more freaking rain. But we didn't let it stop us. We hit up the Academy of Sciences, and then we went for a muni train ride through Cole Valley (you can guess who was pushing for that one). Then I thought I'd take the kids to see the mosaic steps out in the sunset. Julian and I followed Zoe up the steps, then at the top, Zoe wanted to go higher. So across the street, and up again, we followed Zoe. Then more, Zoe wanted to go higher and higher and higher, until we were at the top- top of the world, top of the City, looking out over all the places we had been today. Beautiful. The clouds drifted by, the rain had subsided and there we were, soaking up the view. A new place in my beloved city, that I had never been. A quiet little spot all to ourselves. King of the mountain. And Zoe led us there.
