Ticket to Ride

Will was SO excited to ride the train. He has been a Thomas the train fan for a while so it's really exciting for him to see real, big train tracks and trains. Unfortunately they're all diesels and not steam trains like in all the cartoons.
We invited Nikki and Gabe to come along with us. They were both jumping up and down in their seats with excitement as the train took off. We went all the way to... San Carlos. What's in San Carlos, you might ask. A donut shop and a nearby park. I'm sure there's other things, but that's all I'm familiar with.

Will amazingly ate all but two bites of this maple bar. He made his daddy proud. Then he worked off all those calories at the park.

The trip took us about four hours total because we took the bus to and from the train station. It was totally worth it! Will has been telling everyone about his train ride. I'd love to go with a bigger group next time. We could ride all the way to exotic... San Mateo and visit the bookstore/mall there.
