Last weekend we headed up to Sacramento for a train adventure weekend. We caught the Capitol Corridor train in Oakland's Jack London Square, for a 2 hour ride up to Sacramento. The kids both loved being on the train.
Once we arrived, our first stop was the California Railroad Museum. Liam loved the big trains and wanted to go on all of them. He didn't want to leave.
We then walked along the waterway to our hotel. It was a beautiful day.
Once at the hotel we played in the pool, before heading into Old Town Sacramento for dinner and candy.
The next morning the kids were up early and we walked down the Capitol Mall to the State Capitol. It was great to see the Capitol building and the Senate (red room) and Assembly (green room). On the walk back the kids played in the leaves!
As we wandered through Old Town to go back to the Railroad Museum, the kids were fascinated by a street performer with paper marionettes.
On our second visit the the museum, we went to the floor with toy trains! Liam was in heaven.
We had to take a break for lunch and then went on a carriage ride!
Then, Liam went back into the museum to play with trains, while Elsa, Grandpa and I explored the old schoolhouse and found railroad spikes to make designs with.
It was a great trip and on the return ride, the kids said they want to do more Train Adventures!
