Riding the Train

Last Friday we had the wonderful opportunity to have lunch with one of my closest friends from high school! Since we were meeting up in Oceanside, I thought it was the perfect opportunity to take the kids on the train! They were so excited!!

 Markus could hardly contain himself!

Joli just wanted to get on the train already! The line was not exciting.

Once we were on, both the kids practically (and sometimes literally), jumping up and down! Markus kept screaming "Choo-choo" at the top of his lungs, and then they'd both start squealing! I hope no one on the train planned for a quiet ride.


Trains might be Markus' #1 favorite thing now (even over guns!).

It was such a beautiful ride!




Once we got there it was only two blocks to the pier!





We walked all the way down to the end of the pier and met Heidi at Ruby's diner! Markus was tired and hungry and pretty much crazy, but Joli was as sweet as the milkshakes we had!

There was a balloon man that made balloon figures for the kids.

Markus was way into my dark chocolate strawberry milkshake though.

Joli loved her little pink flower.

Once we finished our yummy meal and awesome visit with Heidi, Joli and I played on the beach while Markus took a much needed snooze in the stroller.




Then we walked back over to the train station, got some frozen lemonade, and waited for the train.


The kids were just as excited on the train ride back, and this time we took the four seat spot and stretched out a bit. I could have easily napped!

Such a beautiful view!

We were all very tired and happy from a wonderful day.
Markus went to bed before dinner and Joli had no problem falling asleep either! It was so awesome and we will definitely be doing it again, maybe with Joe!
