Rail Runner

Grandma Elena and Patsy decided to take a ride on the train to Santa Fe. Millie, Tere, and the girls met us at the station and we waited for the train to come. It was really windy that day, so we had to wait by the wind blockers. They didn't block all of the wind, but they did help some what. Christopher was excited at first, but then he got scared when the Amtrak train went by. The train was very fast and very loud and he didn't like it.

When our train arrived Christopher was afraid to get on it. He didn't like it until it started going. Christopher and Bea sat across from each other with their grandma's sitting next to them. We brought crayons and stickers for them to play with. They had the greatest time playing with each other. The train ride was about an hour long with a few stops along the way.

When we got to Santa Fe, we got on a couple shuttles which drove us to the plaza. We arrived at the plaza and there happened to be a cool celebration taking place. There were lots of stands selling jewelry and other things. They had a main stage with live music. There was also plenty of yummy food.

Christopher fell asleep and missed this part, but Charlie and I had fun walking around and checking everything out. Elena and Patsy went off on their own, and the girls had fun dancing to the live music. We ate roasted corn (my favorite), fajitas, hot dogs, and Italian ice. We spent a couple hours in Santa Fe and then got back on the shuttle and headed back to the train station.

At the station, we had to wait a little while for the train to come, so we checked out the gift shop and bought Christopher a toy train and a train sticker book. On the ride Christopher sat with his grandma and told her about all the things he was seeing. Bea fell asleep.

We finished our awesome day at Fuddruckers. It was a great day. Hopefully we will be able to do it again soon.
