Steam Trains!

The steam trains in the Berkeley hills were a favorite destination for me when I was growing up. I have vague but happy memories of the noisy train chugging it's way between sunny hillsides and redwoods forests. Zoe is still a little young to appreciate the trains, but we thought it would be a fun outing for her nonetheless. She really did seem to enjoy herself, and her eyes would widen to saucers as we passed through the train tunnel with the whistle blowing.
