The First Family, minus mom and dad, takes in some sightseeing aboard a cable car.

The trio rode cable car No. 15, which made its maiden voyage just hours earlier. The first family rode from the cable car barn and powerhouse on Nob Hill to Lombard Street. There, they got back into a more mundane automobile for a ride down the short stretch of Lombard Street known as the Crookedest Street in the World.

''We got them there safely,'' reported Municipal Transportation Agency chief Nathaniel Ford, who escorted the girls and the First Lady's mom. ''We are honored that they elected to ride a cable car as part of their visit to San Francisco.''
