Riding the Train

 We had another gorgeous Saturday yesterday, so we knew we had to get out of the house and enjoy it...especially since it looks like the rain is coming back next week. We boarded CalTrain and settled in for our 50 minute ride into the city. The train is a special treat for the kids....they were SO excited. When we got on the train, they decided they wanted to sit on the second level...they thought it was the coolest thing ever. You'd think we took them to Disneyland by how excited they were (except that this was free! We love cheap entertainment).

When we got to the city we walked another mile along the Embarcadero to the big farmer's market there. We have never been and thought it would be fun to check it out. It was huge! We tasted some yummy samples and bought the most delicious bread...and almost bought lots of pretty flowers, but we didn't think they'd survive the long day. We will definitely be going back, but next time we'll drive. After walking around for a bit, we grabbed some lunch at a little Mexican restaurant in the ferry building. Delicious! We walked around for a little while longer and then started the walk back to the train station. Matthew slept the entire time we were there!

On our way home, we made one last stop in Burlingame. We had to visit our favorite candy store there and I wanted to check out the consignment store. The kids got their treats,  and I got some cute baby clothes. Win win! Then we boarded the train one last time and headed home. It was a really fun, beautiful day, but we were completely worn out! Kids were in bed by 6:45 and we followed at 8. Definitely a sign of a good day!

 All ready to go

We were in one of the front cars. Emma was so excited when she realized that she could see all of the other cars when we went around a bend.

Cute boys!

I love Matthew's face here...haha!

Home sweet home!
