Today we took our "Choo Choo" mad son to Sonoma Train Town. It was about a 45 minute drive from San Francisco and we arrived just in time for opening at 10am. We were glad as it was already getting warm up there and we got to board the very first steam train.
Before we boarded the train we went to take a look at the Roundhouse with the trains and cabooses that were stationed there. It was pretty cool, Tiernan loved the shiny silver engine.
Time to board the train, it wound along a track through the trees, with spectacular scenery, fountains and lakes and little miniature towns and farms etc throughout a 10 minute ride.
The train stops half way around at a "Town" that has a petting farm with sheep, goats, Llamas etc and lots of miniature houses, stores, saloons etc for the kids to explore. T had to use the Outhouse and check out the Fire House.
It was then time to wander around the rest of park and check out the rides, unfortunately Tiernan was too small to go on most of the rides, like the chairplanes and swings, but he did get to ride the carousel and his very first Big Wheel.
Then Mama just HAD to buy the cutest engineer hat and bandana for her very own little engineer.
Then we HAD to go back to the Roundhouse for one last look at that big shiny engine.
We had a great day out, and would highly recommend this to anyone with a budding train enthusiast. It was a great way to spend a warm sunny morning.
