A Bus Adventure

On Saturday, Sockie and I grabbed my friend, Daniel, and we went for an afternoon of riding buses to random places. We had an open day so we decided, why not? While we were riding the first bus downtown, we decided we'd visit the beach first. It was awfully cool to do much of anything besides walk around on the sand, but it was sunny and we couldn't think of anywhere else to go at that moment. We got on the bus to go to the beach, but we caught it when it was going to its first stop, which was the other side of the city, so we rode the bus for an hour and a half before we actually arrived at the beach. We knew that was going to happen, but we didn't mind. Riding the bus for that long provides plenty of time for relaxation and pleasant conversation.

Sockie in front of the lake at the beach! I think this is a very flattering picture of him. ;)

The lake... It was beautiful when we went! It was so blue and hazy in the distance.

Shells! There were so many all over the sand.

Shells again! With me picking some up. It felt so cool.

The three of us decided to walk down the pier after we walked around on the beach. I took a picture of Daniel and Sockie together!

After we hung out at the beach for about an hour, we headed back downtown once again. Sockie sunned on part of a bridge while Daniel and I discussed what to do next. 

We decided to go visit a friend on the other side of town, so while we waited for the bus to come, we got a snack at a little cafe.

We caught the bus and visited my friend for about an hour and then we came back downtown. We then had to wait about 45 minutes for our bus to take us home. It was quite chilly out, but we had a wonderful conversation with a stranger and that kept us occupied and it distracted us away from the nippy air. Here Sockie waits patiently inside the bus shelter.

We had an awesome day riding buses all over creation. I'd love to do it again soon, and I probably will. What a great Saturday!
