Jack's first public transportation






This morning we celebrated the grand opening of the Euclid Corridor by taking advantage of free bus service and taking the Healthline from Cornell to Public Square. Despite a blustery wind and some spitting rain, we managed to have a delightful time and, as always, were left asking ourselve why we don't come downtown more often...
Jack thoroughly enjoyed his first bus ride. At first, he was a little overstimulated, I think, snuggling with us and very soberly observing the other people on the bus. Then, once he relaxed, he realized he could stand up on our laps, watch the world go by out the window, and try to make friends with all these new people... great fun! He pointed out the fact that many buildings we passed, in fact, had doors. The kid is very serious about doors right now.
Jack also thoroughly enjoyed the rather crappy fall weather. We might have felt a little guilty for randomly walking around downtown on a cold, rain-ish day with our slightly sniffly proto-toddler, if it were not for the s**t-eating grin on his face the whole time. We went into the Starbucks on Playhouse Square for a warm-up and he just wanted to get back outside the whole time.
The weather, of course, was much improved by the time we boarded the bus to head home. At a quick stop at Zagara's, we plopped Jack into the cardboard box of pumpkins. Can't miss a fall-themed photo op! We may be going out to actually purchase some pumpkins later today, so keep an eye out for even more orange-tinted photos...
