Morning in North Beach

It's fun to be a tourist in your own city, so for a change this morning we went to North Beach.
It is supposed to start raining, but it was a sunny morning, warmer than it has been in awhile. Alec and N kicked a ball for a few minutes in Washington Square Park, but Alec was more interested in the playground. It's an old one - metal and wood and sand rather than plastic and rubber matting.

The slides were a hit, and I liked the monkey bars!

Then a quick visit to the Cable Car Museum, where you can watch the cables that move the cars up and down the hills.

We finished off the morning with a gelato - banana and salted caramel. It was so good that Alec convinced us to get a second cone - gianduja (dark chocolate and pistachio) and cannoli (almond with chocolate chips).

Now he's sleeping off his sugar high...
