Another one of Mama's surprise; this time we are off to the city for a ride on the holiday cable cars and then to see Mr. Claus.
Havana's first cable car ride.
It was a very cold night. I was very thankful that we got a seat inside the cable car where we could shut the doors and see the sights from a warmer space! In between some interesting sightseeing information, we were surrounded with Christmas music. I am slowly discovering that there are some things about Christmas that this Jewish girl from New York likes. Like the lights and music!
During out ride, we got to see the lights on the Bay Bridge. They lived up to the hype but I was greatly disappointed to learn they cost $8 million dollars to build/design. Just earlier in the day, I had heard that some homeless people died from sleeping outside during the recent freezing weather. I couldn't help but to think that couldn't be have put that money to better use? These are the things I want my girls to think about too so I brought this up on the way home. I also want them to know how fortunate they are to have so much when others have so little and to think about giving back when they are grown.

Sweet Havana looked so forlorn. She so wanted to eat the candy off the gingerbread house and was told she wasn't allowed to.
Those eyes; they tell the whole story of her longing for the candy!
Once we got back on the cable car Havana's attention switched to Santa. She really wanted to pay him a visit so she could submit her Christmas list!
We made it back to Union Square with very little time to find Santa. Would we make it?.......
