Mini Vacation Part 3

We spent our last morning in La Jolla beach before we drove out and headed back to hot Las Vegas. It was cloudy and overcast but I am so glad we made the trip. It was such a neat place.  Even though we didn't go down to the sandy shore because it was still a bit damp, we enjoyed walking along the sea wall and watching the waves and surfers along the beach.  Micah really wanted to go down to the beach but we managed to keep him clean for the drive home.  I am sure we will be back to the beach on a warmer and sunnier day for him to play. One of the coolest things we saw was a little cove that was just covered in seals!  You don't see that on the East Coast or the Gulf so we thought it was a pretty cool sight.  We finished the morning with a long drive through the town looking at some of the homes built in one of the most coveted zip codes in America.  It was impressive!


On our drive back to Las Vegas we made a small detour through a town called Poway, CA.  The entire trip since the model train museum Micah had been asking to ride a train.  Of course the one at the zoo ( a little mini kiddie ride) was only opened on weekends and not Thursday or Friday which were the days that we were there. So I consulted google and found a small town not far off our path home that had train rides. I am so glad we stopped because it could not have been more perfect.  It was an old historic real steam train that just rode around a little park for about a 5 minute ride and then dropped you off where you started.  Micah was so excited about every part of this, even just holding his ticket.  We waited in line, got our tickets punched and rode the train, not once, but twice around the park. After the ride was over Micah loved it so much he even convinced Daddy to do it again with him.  A great little adventure to finish the trip for our little man! One last stop at Chick-Fil-A by the highway and we were on the road again!
