Ridin' the Rails

This was an exciting event for Nicholas, as he has been talking about riding on an Amtrack for months now. When the moment came, he was a bit hesitant (it was loud!) but he quickly overcame his fear and had a fun ride to Carpinteria with Daddy, where Mama met them for a nice walk and breakfast. He wants to know when he can ride again now!

Ready to go!


Oops, a little intimidated


Ready to go! (again)
