Railroad Faire at Ardenwood

The Railroad Faire was great today. One more day left!

I arrived around 11 am and walked from the staff parking to the front gate. The Monarch butterflies are starting to fly in for the winter and there were quite a few flitting about. At the front gate there was a long line to ride the trains. I hate to say but I used my influence and cut to the front. The ride was great, it had been a long time since I had taken it. I walked back to the farmyard from Deer Park.

Lots of people and wonderful weather! Tons of families with 3 and 4 year olds in particular. At that age children seem to really bond to trains. I was rather nostalgic about when the grandkids were really into trains, especially Thomas the tank engine!

After enjoying all the model trains in the farmyard I headed off to the house for tours. And did we have tours! 200 people in 3 hours! It was rather exhausting! But everyone really enjoyed the house to top off their day.

AND--I did do my painting for today but no charge in my camera battery so photo will have to be put up tomorrow...... till then guess what the picture is of : )
