Above – Check out this old rotary snow plow. I had no idea what it was and still find it hard to believe something like this can plow snow for a train.

In the morning still in pjs before heading out for the day.

After breakfast we geared up and drove to Sacramento to visit the train museum. The drive there was absolutely beautiful. Lots of green farmland and cows to look for. But the best part of the drive was listening to Alo, Maya and Kando singing “The Wheels on the Bus,” “Jingle Bells” and “Frosty the Snowman” among others. I think Christmas carols are here to stay. These kids have great singing voices!

Hanging out in front of the train museum.
Inside the museum – It’s a huge warehouse filled with retired locomotives. Here are just a few of them.Just as amazing as the rotary snow plow is the cattle catcher on the front of this train.

Upstairs at the museum is a play area where the kids can play with trains. They really liked this.

Both Alo and Kando fell asleep on the way home so we didn’t get to say a formal goodbye to them before we headed home. But we had a great time and very much enjoyed our short visit. Thanks to Robb for giving up his bed for Maya and me!

I spent this weekend (Fri through Sun) resting and recuperating, and I feel so much better today. This sinus cold knocked me out but I’m feeling much better today.
