Big Train Adventure

On Saturday, we had a fun excursion to San Diego with the Bird family. We rode the train from Fullerton to San Diego, and then hit the city by foot. It was a big adventure with no agenda, other than to have fun with friends and explore the city. The train to San Diego was pretty full, so all eight of us found a way to fit into 4 seats (the best use of space, according to the train attendant!). After a fun train ride down (filled with many "wow"'s from the kids, who were looking out the window), we headed to Horton Plaza for lunch.

The kids had a fun time coloring on the train.

After lunch, we found a great park near the Children's Museum.

Next stop was Seaport Village, where we wandered around, grabbed some ice cream from Ben & Jerry's, and set up a picnic area overlooking the water where we had a great time people watching and playing a few card games (or in Luke's case, taking a power nap).

Everyone was pretty tired on the train ride home. Ian and Jack slept for part of the ride home, and Lana and Luke had a great time being silly and making each other laugh. Back in Fullerton, we headed to a burger joint for a late dinner...Great end to a wonderful day!
