Come On Ride the Train

Jay is obsessed with trains. He has train books, movies, clothes, engines, and cars.  So, last Sunday, we figured we would indulge his obsession and take a train ride.  We invited along our good friends, the Anderson, who have a little boy who is....of course...also in love with trains. 

We visited the Hawaiian Railway Society in Ewa Beach, HI.  We got our tickets, looked around the yard at a few trains they had on display, and then boarded the 3 o'clock train.  The entire trip was narrated and told the story of the history of the Hawaiian railroad.  The train ride took us west of Ewa to the Leeward side of the island.  It lasted an hour and a half and was fun for all of us! 

It was a slightly rainy day and we did actually get cold for a bit but the rain held off for most of the trip.  Some of our favorite things we saw on the trip were horses, cows, the ocean, and railroad crossing signs (Jay's personal favorite).  If you ever find yourself with nothing to do on Oahu on a Sunday afternoon then I suggest the train ride.  Especially if you have a little boy!
