We decided to take Lucia on a train ride today from Oakland to Berkeley; it's about 19 minutes and it cost $20 for all three of us. She's been so excited about trains for a while. Today didn't disappoint, though I almost missed the train after the ticket printing machine was so slow.
Once we got on board, Lucia wouldn't stop talking about ice cream. She asked the ticket man for ice cream, and decided she was definitely having ice cream when we got to Berkeley. Mind you, she's allergic to dairy so she's never had ice cream, she's had gelato and sorbet, but whatever kid. Let's find you some "ice cream." We arrived in Berkeley and it started raining, which was a bummer for sure. We struck finding a non-dairy ice cream somethingorother, but we got her some dark chocolate covered dried strawberries and then she wanted a cookie and then 2 seconds later (and after she took 2 bites) didn't want it anymore. Sigh.
We walked up and down the shopping district, then decided to have dinner there. We found a great Italian place and Lucia acted like a typical 3 year old, which was kinda stressful, but the food was great. After dinner we spent some time in the bookstore and this gigantic Richard Scarry book captivated her for a while. We didn't buy it for her because of the rain but I have a feeling Santa might know about it.
