What To Do On A Day Off of Work…?

Go ride the train in the Santa Cruz mountains with Rocco. This was a great Mommy and Rocco day. Yes it was a cold winter day in the mountains. Yes it was misty since Rocco likes to sit right behind the big steam engine. Yes it was a day that was filled with smiles and hugs. Wouldn't trade it for anything.

I really enjoy family time, but I also really enjoy one one one time with my Rocco. We had a great day riding the Sonora steam train at Roaring Camp. It was a Monday morning and the train was pretty much empty. The conductor told me the first three cars were for the group from Korea. I told him, my Rocco likes to sit right behind the engine and we would wait in line to see if there would be any open seats. They told everybody to only sit on the right side since the seats on the left were wet. So the first three cars were empty on that side. Nothing a blanket can't help. So Rocco and I took our seats right behind the engine on the right side.

We took pictures of each other, enjoyed the glimpse of sunshine we got through the tree's, sang "she'll be coming around the mountain," ate snacks, snuggled and enjoyed being in that moment. I felt like no one else was on that train but us. We sure did soak it all in.
