Train ride

Caleb has an interest in cars and trains. Last Saturday we decided to take a trip on Caltrain up to San Carlos. From Mountain View it's about a 25 minute train ride. We got to the station early to buy tickets and not feel rushed. As the train was approaching Caleb got a little apprehensive and did not want to get on the train. So Jamie scooped him up and we boarded the train.

When we got to San Carlos we shopped a little. We got Caleb some new sneakers at the kids shoe store (size 9!) and a couple of books at the children's bookstore. It happened to be story time when we got there but Caleb was more interested in the train table. After that, we went to lunch at a Greek restaurant. I looked at the wrong schedule on the way out of the train station so we arrived back at the station 20 minutes early.

In the end, we think Caleb enjoyed it but like everything else he doesn't take to new things quickly. But it was still a fun family adventure and a lovely way to spend a Saturday morning.

Here's Caleb waiting for the train. He doesn't look too happy but he was quite excited when I gave him a "ticket".


On the train he didn't want to sit in the seat by himself.
