Escape from the bedroom

A couple days ago, L, J, and I with trepidation made our first venture forth since we brought J home nine days before that. (He's two weeks old today, and doing great.) We went across the Bay to run a couple errands and indulge ourselves: cakes at Crixa, fresh fruit from the Bowl, ribs from Flint's. J handled all this very well although, of course, much of our timing was on his schedule - stopping when he needed to eat, moving when he slept. We were worried he might have a meltdown on the bridge, when there wouldn't be much we could do for him stuck in his car seat, but everything was fine. I'm really looking forward to taking him on mushroom hunts this fall. The rain so far was only 1/3 inch, but maybe that will be enough for some Agaricus augustus to spring up.
