Goleta Railroad Days

Daniel and I went out to the Goleta Depot for the Goleta Railroad Days. The best part of the day (for me) was discovering that Daniel is finally tall enough to ride the trains! He just barely squeaked by the height requirement. I think they should change the name from "Goleta Railroad Days" to "Daniel Days"- this boy was in heaven for the 3 1/2 hours that we spent there.

We rode the diesel circus train, rode the steam train (twice) and explored the many model train displays on the grounds. Daniel matched all the volunteer engineers in his blue and white striped overalls. We had lunch and then attended storytime where Daniel enjoyed hearing five train books! Daniel loved handing over his train tickets to be punched before the rides and shouting "All Aboard!!" It was a perfect mother-son weekend date!
