Chad had today off and since Micah is a typical boy and loves trains, we decided to be a little spontaneous and took a train ride down to Solana Beach. Funny enough, this was the first train ride for all four of us. Neither Chad nor I had been on a train before, so this was our little adventure. We hopped on the train in San Juan.
While we waited, Brooklyn decided to become a free apartment guide magazine. 
We almost boarded the wrong train...whoops! 
We made it on the right train though and about 40 minutes later we were in Solana Beach.
We jumped out and knew nothing about where we were or what to do, so we wandered around. Luckily we ran into some friendly locals and they were nice enough to give us pointers on where to go! We stopped at a local cafe to eat lunch,
headed to Fletchers Cove to let the kids play on the playground
and at the shore, 
then headed out for gelato and our ride back home. It was a lot of fun for all of us!

5 Quick Thoughts:
A train ride?! How fun.
I love little Brooklyn's outfit, btw. :)
Sounds perfect!
I feel like I need to put out a heads-up: This trip was a lot of fun but it was EXPENSIVE. Three round-trip tickets to Solana Beach came out to $65. Sixty-five dollars! So yeah this is a once-in-a-long-while kind of thing. At least for us!
i love taking the train but agree with Chad that it's pricey, this we only do it a couple of times a year. My favorite is to take it to the spaghetti factory. :)
Wow so fun! And Paul took the train once. Chad's right - not the cheapest thing. But what a fun spontaneous getaway!!
And Rach, you mentioned a while back on here about a race you were not going to run anymore? Was it the Ragnar? And if so, do they need one other person to run? Because I would LOVE to run that one!
