Looking for something fun to do with the kids this October? Take them over to the Western Railroad Museum on Hwy 12 just west of Rio Vista, CA
This is an annual trip my family. My kids love it. I think we've gone every year for the last 8 years. Here's what your in for:
The museum opens at 9:30 on Saturday and Sunday. Inside the museum there are railroad artifacts, a mock train engineers chair and train controls. There is a great gift shop with hundreds of book and videos on railroading.
Go outside to the rail yard and see tens of old rail car. Guests can then hop on an electric rail car and travel for 15 minutes through the beautiful hills of Solono County to an eucalyptus grove where there is one of the largest Hay Mountains I've ever seen. It's about 2 stories high and filled with tunnels, and areas for the kids to play on and in.
Other attractions at the grove are:
- Live band
- petting zoo
- pumpkin catapult
- jumpy jump
- Hay ride
- tons of food, and snacks for sale
- other events and games for kids

With just 36 days left in 2010, Zoey the Cool Cat and I just wanted to stop by and wish you a very Happy Thanksgiving. Hope it’s a great one, with lots of fun and food with family and friends!
If you haven't been to the railway museum it is very interesting. It is about time to go back for us as well.
