You Guessed It... More Trains!

One might think that I am feeding Jake's obsession with trains... I probably am. But seeing this kid's smile when he is around them makes it totally worth it! :)

This past weekend, Mark's sister, Mary Katherine got married at Arista (another post to come). It was incredibly small, immediate family and a few close friends. While the wedding party was out wine tasting on Friday, my parents, the boys, and our cousins from Austin loaded up and headed to Train Town in Sonoma.

Despite the cold and damp weather, this place was so much fun! It's like a tiny amusement park and the main attraction is a train you can ride. I don't know who loved it more- Jake or my dad (remember, he is slightly obsessed too)! It's about a 20 minute ride. You stop half way at this little kid's town, with a petting zoo, a fort to climb on and a little miniature town to play in. It was a hoot! After the ride, we jumped on the carousel and then on a plane ride. Jake's first "roller coaster." Adults weren't allowed to ride and Jake barely was tall enough. I just knew that he might be a little scared but boy was I WRONG! He loved it! He rode with his cousin Max and the 2 had a ball together!

Evidently if you go on a Saturday or Sunday more rides are open. So we may have to go back when it's a little warmer. It was a success and we loved it!

Jake, Mark and Marcus.

Isn't this incredible?!?

Mark and her husband, Dean, are first cousins and they live in Austin. We adore them and their kids.




The first time and last that Jake is in a saloon! :)
