This weekend, Dominic went on his very first train ride at the Balboa Park Railroad Station, courtesy of one of his little buddy’s birthday party. I remember going to the same little train when I was a kid (which is right next to the world-famous San Diego Zoo). So many memories resurfaced, and it made me miss my father even more because I would have loved to have seen him take his grandson to do the same thing with him as he did with me and my sister.
Dominic has a little train that he rides at home and he’s always saying “Choo-choo!” I knew he would have a blast riding the train. My son is definitely an observer, so he sat so quietly, taking everything around him in. After we finally rode on the train, he ran back and wouldn’t leave the little station.

we did the same thing, but i totally forgot to take pictures. i told mei all about us riding the train when we were kids with our dad.
We’ll have to go together next time! Dominic LOVED it. He tried to run back and almost sat down near the gate because he didn’t want to leave.
