Exploring the bay area

We have been in this area a year now and we get out fairly often to explore the area. Probably not as often as we could since we had Cooper and then he was so sick for so long. So, a few Saturdays ago we headed out to a regional park called Tilden park where they have a steam engine you can ride, along with a bunch of other fun things to do. Isabelle's friend Grace came along for the ride. By the time we got there and rode the train, the kids had burned through all of the snacks so we headed home and decided to come back and finish exploring the park another day, it is huge! They had a great time on the train, it was a great ride and a pretty authentic miniature steam train. They loved it when the train went whoo whoo and all the steam came out. We grabbed some lunch on our way home and since it was such a beautiful day took it to a park closer to our home. The kids were great and we stayed for 2 hours then went home and cleaned up and finished the evening by going to the Old Spaghetti Factory with friends. The kids were beat but we had a great day.



This was the view on the drive to the park, it was an amazing view of San Francisco.
