Travel Town

The days of summer refuse to slow down. In their haste I've been desperately trying to fill our days with as much fun and adventure as possible. A part of me may also be secretly hoping all these moments as just Marcus and Mommy could go on and last forever. There is this pang of guilt that keeps poking at me, and I'm just trying to give my little man every last ounce of me before his sister arrives.

So, to fill yet another summer day in L.A. we trucked off, with Grandma in tow, to Travel Town in Griffith Park.

I knew we would see old trains, but aside from that little bit of information I had no idea what else to expect.

We learned upon entering that a small train lapped the grounds. Naturally we made that our first priority.

After a couple laps around the museum grounds we were off to explore the numerous old engines and cars.

Climbing into the big engines was a pretty big hit. 

Being able to turn knobs and pull levers? A three-year old dream come true.

I thought surely exploring all the engines and turning all knobs and pulling all the levers would be the highlight.

I thought wrong.
It was an empty passenger car that stole the show.

Inside was completely barren, save for old wooden floors, which made for a perfect little run way. Marcus literally ran laps through the car and thought it was about the best thing ever.

With each sprint through the passenger car Marcus made sure to peek out the windows and give us a wave and a smile.

After countless laps we called it a day and bid farewell to Travel Town and successfully completed another Bucket List to-do.
