Our first stop was the Sacramento Children's Museum. It's a learn by doing museum and has lots of hands on exhibits. Miles had fun running around with all the other children. He had fun "building" with packing peanuts. I had never thought about it...they wet one side and they stuck together to build anything you wanted.

After that we headed to a place Miles could not wait for...the Railroad Museum. Miles LOVES his trains. "Chooo Chooo" Miles yells as we headed over to the museum. Arriving at the museum his eyes grew big and said "Mommy...choochoo train!! ChooChoo train!" As we walked through the entrance and past the gift shop Miles screamed " Thomas mommy...Thomas!" What boy doesn't love Thomas the Train. Miles had the time of his life seeing all the different types of trains and getting to go inside the trains. Just seeing how big trains really are amazed him. He was in heaven. The first floor had the real life size trains and the second floor had the toy trains. He was even more excited at the large toy train exhibit as he watched the trains go in and out of tunnels.
Watching the small train toy exhibit. He was excited
because he got to push the button for the train to start.

much fun to see what was inside each train.

Miles loved pushing the button to make the whistling noise

It had been a long time since I had been to the Railroad Museum. Even I was amazed at the awesomeness of it. It was so great to be able to watch Miles run around with excitement at a place I remember coming to as a child also. Afterwards, we walked around Old Sacramento and enjoyed the sunny afternoon.
