San Francisco Days 3 & 4

Downtown historic Old Town Sacramento

Our third day in the city we took a day trip with Joey out to Sacramento so Ryan could go to the California State Train Museum.  It was highly rated on Yelp and other webpages, but I still couldn't believe how amazing the place was.  From its location right in the heart of Old Town Sacramento, to the large variety of trains housed there (and in such stellar, restored condition)...we could have stayed there all day.

This sleeper car rocked/swayed to emulate what an actual overnight train feels like.  I'm not sure who loved it more (I think we walked through it four or five times)...me or Ryan.  I *loooooove* sleeping on overnight trains and I can't wait to do this again someday.

Admission to the museum was $10 pp, and for another $10 each, you could ride on a restored steam engine for a 40-min. loop.

One of the many restored engines inside the museum for our little trainophile/trainologist to admire.  ;-)

The grand finale (oh how I wish I had known about this earlier so we could have spent more time here!)...Thomas the Train tables, filled with trains for little boys and girls to play with!

Day Four began with a walk through Haight-Ashbury on our way to Golden Gate park.  These two hippies were protesting the fact that Ben & Jerry's was out of waffle cones that day.

Ryan won the race!  Daddy tore his new O'Neill shorts. Twice.
