Riding the Surfliner

Ava recently took her first train ride on Amtrak's California Surfliner from Irvine to San Diego where we spent the night before heading back home on the train.

Ava had fun on the train reading books and looking out onto the ocean.

Once in San Diego we took the trolley to Seaport Village where Ava got to explore, play on the carousel, and eat lunch.

After nap time, we walked to The Gaslamp Quarter where we met up with our friends Jen, Brian, and AC to watch a pitching duel between the hometown Padres and the Nationals, and we got to see Anthony Rizzo hit his first career home run.

The next morning, we ate a yummy breakfast and headed back home on the train. All in all, it was a very successful trip and Ava will surely have many train trips in her future.
