Ready for X-Mas

We left the house on Saturday with no real plan in mind except to go “somewhere”. Somewhere ended up being a CalTrain ride up to Palo Alto to walk along University Avenue. We had been meaning to take Gabriel on a train ride for quite awhile. After all, we’re fond of the train and it’s good to know how he’d react.

So, we headed out and he seemed to like looking out and seeing the tracks and the various railroad machinery along the way. We ended spending a little over an hour in Palo Alto stopping in various shops and even getting Gabriel an Ice Cream cone at Haagen Dazs. No ice cream- just a cone. He loves those things.

On the way home, we drove through downtown San Jose to see the setup of Christmas in the Park. While no real decorations are in place quite yet, the streets are lit up with the traditional white lights. Gabriel quickly noted that he “sees Christmas”.

Good fun and something we need to do more often for sure.
