We left Sunday afternoon and drove to Belen, NM. They have a new train that is called the Railrunner Express. This train runs between Belen and Santa Fe. We spent the night in Belen in the motorhome and left early Monday morning to travel on the train to Santa Fe. We had a two hour lay over in Albuquerque so we walked around downtown and ate some breakfast at a great cafe. After breakfast we returned to the train station and prepared to load the train again to go on to Santa Fe. All of the kids were very excited over the train ride. We got to Santa Fe around 12:00.
We started walking and Kailyn was cold. Everyone had a hood except her. We stopped at a store and bought her a little hat. The lady said 1.08. I nearly fainted. Wow just one dollar and she was a happy camper. It looked pretty cute too. It even matched the outfit. It was definately worth the money for my sanity.
We went on to the plaza downtown. We saw the indians selling their jewelry around the square. We did a little more shopping and then went to lunch. Kevin and I had an awesome green chile cheeseburger at the Plaza cafe. Jaryd had nachos and the little ones had chicken. They were all happy. We returned to the street vendors and purchased some bracelets for all us girls. Jacob had found an astronaut toy that he wanted and we were still in search of Jaryd's big prize.
Jaryd finally found a kit at Border books that makes all kinds of flying airplanes and rockets. Now they are all happy we caught the train and headed back to Belen. Jaryd told me he wanted to live in Santa Fe. He loved the town. Kevin bought a huge dinosaur book and they all spent the train ride back to Belen reading and looking at the dinosuars. All except for Kailyn. She was busy playing with animals that we brought with us.
The picture of Alyssa sleeping is while we were shopping. Someone walked past us and said look at the flowers in her hand while she is sound asleep. We didn't know she had gone to sleep.
This was a great trip. We had a wonderful time with all the kids.
