Sonoma TrainTown - Sonoma, CA

BFF Gia and her family invited us to meet up with them at Sonoma TrainTown.

The Sonoma TrainTown Railroad is a tourist railroad and small amusement park in Sonoma, California. Its logo is based on the logo for the New York Central Railroad. Its main feature is a 15 in (381 mm) gauge miniature railway, which closely corresponds to a 1:4 scale model of a standard gauge railroad.

Called "an endearing and surprising modern tribute to trains", TrainTown is "an obsessively accurate model railroad". It has been described as "the most well-developed miniature railroad" in the Americas. It operates in "a wooded 10-acre park on a 20-minute ride past waterfalls and beautifully detailed houses, over a trestle and through several tunnels, all precisely one-quarter the size of the real thing." It carries up to 90 passengers on each ride, and includes four miles of track.

TrainTown features an operating replica of a New York Central Hudson locomotive, but numbered 5212, which no New York Central steam locomotive was ever numbered. This is considered by some to be the "most beautiful steam locomotive of the 1930s".

The park features a 46 foot Ferris wheel, carousel and vintage amusement rides and a petting zoo.

Leo J. Ryan Memorial Park - Foster City, CA

We needed to get out of the apartment for a little while for some fresh outdoor air. Since this is pretty much in our backyard, we decided on a return visit to Leo J. Ryan Memorial Park.
