Western Railway Museum

Last week we finally got a chance to go to the Western Railway Museum in Rio Vista. We had been wanting to go there since last year, but never had a chance so the kids and I were excited to go and we took Teri with us.

This is the train we rode. Since Cody is a train fanatic and DJ is a recovering train fanatic, they were VERY excited to ride the train.

It was a 10 mile ride that lasted an hour.  Cody loved every moment of it and didn’t want to sit down. He was so busy looking out the window the entire time.

Each time the train would stop, Cody would yell “GO!” to the conductor. It was pretty funny! He was so excited about the ride he was impatient about the stops.

DJ, on the other hand, talked Teri’s ear off about his Pokemon video game adventures.  I don’t think he got to see much of the sites. He did enjoy seeing baby sheep, though.

Something outside caught his eye and he couldn’t stop pointing at it!

 

It was DJ! He and Teri had taken advantage of the train’s stop at the middle of the ride. Cody and I stayed on the train. A view of DJ from the train’s window.

And there is Teri taking our picture! =)

As soon as the train had reversed and we were back on our way to the train station, the rocking motion of the train started to get to Cody….

He fell asleep for the rest of the ride.

While Cody slept, DJ had a great time exploring the beautiful park area near the station. If you look closely, you will see rocks in his hands. He collected them along the way. They may still be sitting in Teri’s camera bag.

There was a really odd shaped tree in the picnic area. DJ enjoyed climbing it

…then needed a break…

Cody woke up while we were at the picnic area. He was all smiles from his cat nap.

DJ is already planning for anther trip to the train station so he can show his daddy the place.
