All Aboard!

After successful plane and road trips in December, it was time for Ryan and Lucie's adventure on yet another form of transportation - the train. With my mom visiting, we hopped on the train and met my aunts and cousins for a ladies' lunch (Ryan and cousin Milo joined the ladies, of course). The babies didn't pay much attention to the gorgeous weather, surfers and sunbathers as we cruised up the coast, though they did enjoy a good meal and snooze on the short trip, and convinced the conductor to let us stay in first class after we mistakenly got on the wrong car. (There we go playing the twins card again!)

A few more zzz's followed at lunch, as cousin Milo had a great time watching the trains come and go from our perfectly positioned table overlooking the tracks. He enthusiastically kept us up to date on every incoming train between bites - "Look, this one's a Metroliner!" What more could a four-year-old in a conductor's cap ask for?
