Sacramento Train Museum

I think that Chris had the most fun at the train museum. We went on the tour in the begining and Elizabeth did very good at listening with her stuffed monkey George. When we were by the display of the mountians being blasted to make room fo rthe train tracks Elizabeth started singing her own made up song pointing to the words on the sign like they were the words she was singing. There was an older gentelman standing behind her and I appoligized for her blocking the sign and he just nicely said "oh that's okay mam I like the singing and I'm guessing that the men who worked on building this railroad would have liked to hear her singing as well" so I thought that was nice. We also go to go inside some of the old trains and see how they ate and slept on the train and learned all about the different engines and types of trains made from the 1830's to 1950's or so and the history. On the second floor they had toy trains, electric trains set up that you could watch go around a small village as well as the history of toy trains with lots of display cases full of trains. They also had two train tables set up with Thomas trains that kids could play with and Elizabeth had fun doing that.
