Train(ing) Day

I just got back from a really fun train related afternoon with Nicolas. We started at the Santa Cal train station where we saw a couple of trains coming in and out of the station which he really loved. We followed that up by going to an open house in the old warehouse where they have a large and very elaborate model train exhibit. Nicolas loved looking at all of the rolling stock they had, the trains going through the model towns, towering mountains, rail yards etc. They had a really great display and we spent some time there.

After that, and complete on a whim, we decided to buy some northbound train tickets and head out for a ride. We road up for about 25 minutes looking outside and seeing the sights. We now had to get off at a station and chose a rather barren San Antonio station. It turns out there was little to walk around to and see and we had to wait 40 minutes for the next southbound train. That was the only small glitch in a rather very fun afternoon! Nicolas continually thanked me during the afternoon telling me how much fun he was having. What fun!
