Train Town
|
Hey!! Let's drive up to Sonoma, California and do some
wine tasting and winery tours. We can get away from all
this train stuff! Oh! Not so my friend. South of the
town square is a little park know as Train Town. They
have a 15" gauge train ride here that is just perfect
for the kids. A visit to the park would be a nice
break from the galleries, shops, spa's, and restaurants.
Take the break!!

Should you find you just need a really good train fix,
check into AMTRAK. This system is nation wide,

good way to see this great nation, be sure to allow
plenty of time. Sometimes AMTRAK runs late.
