Adventure to the Train Museum...

Day #1 of President's week vacation:
Monday we took an adventure down to the Railroad Museum. Our adventure started by catching the light rail in Folsom and riding it almost to then end of the line downtown. We were lucky and didn't have too much company on the rail, because the company can be a little strange sometimes.

From the light rail stop, we walked a few blocks across the downtown mall, under the freeway into Old Sacramento.

They were featuring toy trains and toys/games about trains, they had a special area set up to see some of the neat things. They had a double track set up that ran on a timer.

We toured through as we always do, checking out all our favorite things. Here we are in front of one of our favorites, and it's orange, so that helps.

We made our way upstairs for some time around the train tables. Cody will still get fully involved with the trains, love that he's still little, as much as he wants to be big.

Tyler playing along...

After making our way through the museum, we headed down to sit by the river to eat some lunch. Then we spent some time just walking around Old Sac, without the time limit of the car meter! Climbing on the old Caboose.

We toured through the different shops, like the kite, toy, and novelty stores, then stopped for an Icee before heading back to the train stop. We lucked out and got to the stop about 2 minutes before the train came, phew!

On the way home, definitely tired.

Day #2 of President's week vacation:
Tuesday we just hung around the house most the day. I did however bust out the new steam mop, a homemakers dream. Cleaning that's hassle free, just fill it with water and plug in, does a good job and there's no chemicals. Now if I can just get my hands on a Dyson, my cleaning arsenal will almost be complete. (Welcome to Homemaking 101)

After a bit of cleaning, we ventured out to get Cody a hair cut. It's $10 day at the kids salon, and I'm cheap, so its works. That being said, I hate getting the boys' hair cut. I'm not sure why I'm so hung up on it, probably because I haven't found a style I love for Cody's hair. Tyler is just the shaggy little devil, and will probably stay that way for a while.
So we went, the boys played some video games, Cody had his hair did and they walked out with suckers, good times. We had someone new cut his hair today and she acutely listened and only trimmed around the ears and bottom, then across the front a bit so he can see out. It's one of the better cuts he's had in a while, but still not awesome. I hoping in the next year, his hair will thicken a bit so that not every cut is shown.

Speaking of hair, mine has been a bit boring lately, can you see a difference?

Maybe there???

I can't cut it, cause I always regret it a day later, and coloring all over is really expensive. So we'll see how long this lasts.
