Roaring Camp Railroad

  This past weekend we took the boys to Roaring Camp Railroad.  This has been on our "bay area bucket list" for sometime, so I am glad we finally did it.  There are two train rides to choose from, the redwood forest steam train (1 hour 15 mins) or the Santa Cruz beach ride (3 hours), obviously we did the redwood train :)  We met up with our friends the Nolls.  A cool morning turned into a beautiful afternoon, which was nice since the train carts are open.  The scenery was beautiful and we had a lot of fun learning about the train and the area.

On the train.  Jason was having a horrendous hair day.

The train used something like 600 gallons of water on our trip.  Here is the steam being released.

And getting filled back up for the next ride.
Another family pic.

Afterward we walked around the little railroad town and fed the ducks.  It was a really fun little outing.

So fun! There is a "Thomas" enthusiast at our house that would die and go to heaven over something like this.

I love Roaring Railroads! Last summer my wife and I went to a wedding there. We had to ride the train up into redwoods for the ceremony, then came back to 'town' for the party.

Gin, I'm excited for you to move home so we can go shopping together. You can help me pick out some super cute outfits, like the ones you are always wearing!
