Our last week in Sacramento

We visited the California State Railroad Museum this weekend. http://www.csrmf.org/   We just happened to be there on National Train Day!  Who knew there was such a thing?  National Train Day is a holiday started by Amtrak in 2008 as a method to spread information to the general public about the advantages of rail travel and the history of trains in the United States. It is held each year on the Saturday closest to May 10, the anniversary of the pounding of the Golden Spike in Promontory, Utah which marked the completion of the first transcontinental railroad within the United States.

The California State Railroad Museum is a FABULOUS museum in Sacramento. This museum is PHENOMENAL. Many train engines & cars. Quite a few that you can walk inside of, too.  We were able to take a 40 minute train ride!

This is where the guys went during Stephanie’s bridal shower last year.  I got to see why my grandson was so excited about this place.  Especially the second floor where the toy trains were and the train tables that the kids can play with!

Also, my friend Tracey drove up from the Bay area so we could have breakfast together.  It was nice to catch up with my former co-worker from Colorado Springs who now lives in California.

This week I attended a showing of the Focus on the Family movie, Irreplaceable.  Don’t pass up a chance to see this movie.  This is the first in a series of feature documentaries that will recover, renew and create conversation about the family unit. http://www.irreplaceablethemovie.com/  Looks like there will be an encore presentation on May 15.

We spent more time with Stephanie & Daniel and even played Wii bowling & golf together in the motorhome!  Steph & Dan took us out to eat for Mother’s Day along with Dan’s parents.  They got to spend the day with both of their mothers!
