We took caltrain!


Riding caltrain is usually not a headline but when you have two toddler boys, it becomes a huge deal. I've been wanting to take Noah and Nathan on the train but never found time to do it. They get excited seeing the train pass by when we're driving around so riding it was a big treat. My first plan was taking it all the way to SF but being this far along, I didn't want to risk it. Erdy didn't even want me to go but being as stubborn as I am, I did it anyways.

So we started in Sunnyvale and took it to Hillsdale. Noah and Nathan were jumping up and down as they got on the train. They were so excited. All the way there, they were nonstop chattering about everything they saw. Noah was convinced the train was broken every time it made a stop. Nathan patiently kept explaining to him that people were getting in and others were getting off. They kept waiting and looking out the window hoping to catch a glimpse of a horse. The added bonus was that when we got off in Hillsdale, you can actually see Bay Meadows Race track so they did see horses!

They were pooped after our day trip. Nathan got an extra treat because Erdy took him back on caltrain that evening and they went to downtown Mountain View for gelato! What a lucky kid!
