When we got to our usual beach there was no parking so we drove a mile or so down the road and parked on a side street with an outlet to the beach---or so we thought.
As we got off the street and headed toward the ocean we realized two things. First, a set of train tracks were right ahead of us. We would need to cross the tracks to get closer to the ocean. Second, we were actually on a cliff above the beach and would have to walk down a VERY steep hill to get down to the sand. With the little guys, this wasn't going to happen.
We crossed the track and walked along the cliffside watching the surfers and enjoying the ocean view. Every once in awhile we'd stop, then walk ahead a little more. Eventually we walked far enough and turned around to head back to the car.
As we were walking back we heard the sound of a train in the distance. We stopped, turned toward the tracks and a 5 car passenger train zoomed right past us. James was so happy to see his first real train. He's been watching Thomas the Train and playing with a trainset at his Grandma and Grandpa Krehbiel's house, so it was exciting for him to see the real thing!
