This year for Spring Break I decided to take the girls to Sacramento to visit my sister. We went last year and had such a great time we decided to make it a tradition! This year though I wasn't too excited about driving the 8 hours by myself so we looked into different options and decided on Amtrak. I have only been on a train once and definitely never with kids but it turned out to be pretty fun. We had to take a bus from L.A. to Bakersfield and then took a train to Sacramento. We got one of the fun seats with the table in between and we colored, played games, watched movies and all kinds of fun things you can't do when you drive. Although it felt slow, the trip was actually the same amount of time as driving. And of course we were greeted by fun cousins at the end of the ride. 
We had such a great week. The kids kept themselves entertained much of the time which was amazing. Whenever we go see cousins it makes me sad we don't always live by them....maybe someday. We went to great parks, went bowling, rode bikes, went to the Jelly Belly factory, dyed Easter eggs and had a great Easter egg hunt provided by cousin Maddie!! It was so sad to leave but we do always miss our daddy!
Lauren and Charles...just waiting...their bowling bowls took literally minutes to get down the lane!!
