Choo Choo! Train Museum

Several museums are free to city residents in Balboa Park on Tuesdays and we decided to try out the Model Railroad Museum a few weeks back. Unfortunately, I didn’t check the hours of the museum before we went and had to wait 2 hours before we could go in. The good part—Balboa is right next to the zoo, so we took a little detour through the park and on to the zoo (see post below) before making it back to the museum. 

Probably the most recognizable shot in all of Balboa…Balboa museum

Saw this sign on our walk…who knew this was possible?who knew

We walked through the Spanish market place…I loved the colorfully painted concrete stones…stepping stones

And then finally made it back to the museum…Railroad hours

Sweet! Check out all those trains! train museum 1

The boys thought it was pretty cool…up until we told David it was time to go and he had to get back in the stroller…here’s how he felt about that…pouty david

And how Ethan felt…ethan happy 

Good times with the family are the BEST!

I didn't know there was a train museum there. Luke is totally into trains these days so I'll have to try it out. Thanks for the heads up on the hours :)
