Easter Monday, Mark, Lon and I got up early and took Daddy to the airport. It was sad.( Lon and I are unsure when we are leaving ~ since we are helping out while Grandma Phis recovers from hip surgery.) After a few tears and figuring out the garmin, Lon and I went to Old Sacramento. Mainly for the train museum. We walked around a played for 2 hours before anything opened. The coffee shop was open, Mommy got a coffee and Lon got a sprinkle cupcake. We had fun looking around at things.
The California State Train Museum was wonderful! The trains were HUGE. I guess I never thought about how big they are close up. They had some cars, and lots of locomotives. They had some of the history of California trains. The steam train will start running again on the 25th of April. They are working on the line, so the train is temporarily shut down. Upstairs, they have a section of toy trains, heavy on Lionel. Which I liked. They also had a section of Thomas The Tank Engine that the little ones could play with. We played with that ALOT. Lon had a blast with them.
After our fill of trains, we walked around looking for a sweatshirt for Grandmother, but we could not find one we thought she would like. We did get some postcards, I got myself a silver charm and Lon got a t-shirt, a book and a Thomas train car. Which he is playing with now, and loves it.
After that we found our way home, via the grocery store and the post office.
It was a great day.
