On a recent Saturday, I found myself without any plans since I had put the entire day on hold in anticipation of a soccer game. By the time we found out the time of the game, it was too late to plan a play date or some other worthwhile distraction. With Kevin out of town, I was on my own to find an adventure for the kids to keep them from killing each other by hanging around the house all day.
So, I thought - The Bus! They're always wanting to ride trains or buses and I thought a quick little trip on our local line to the pier and back would be a great outing.
Except for the part where we waited 15 minutes at the bus stop behind the South Bay Galleria, only to learn that, on the weekends, Beach Cities Transit only runs every 70 minutes. Right.
I needed a new plan.
Luckily, these kids are easy and I'm a quick thinker. We turned around, went into the mall and spent the next hour riding the little train in the food court, and then the escalators and elevators. This may have been the smartest thing I've ever done.
I even had snacks on hand for a nice little break:
