Welcome to my life story for July. If you aren’t familiar with the life story series, it is a personal project that myself and several other photographers are participating in. It’s a monthly reminder to photograph the little moments in our own lives – the moments that tell our stories.

At the beginning of the summer, my daughters and I made a big summer to-do list and we’ve been steadily ticking adventures off one-by-one.  One of the things on our list was “Go to Traintown”.  And early this week, that’s exactly what we did.

Traintown is a little amusement park in the beautiful town of Sonoma.

My girls were excited to go.  When we arrived, the train conductor had stepped away for lunch.  That news ended up being okay with my two just as soon as they spotted the carousel…

And then the airplane ride…

Then it was time for use to ride the train.  Here my girls are waiting for the conductor to get the train going!

After looping through a darling countryside and town, the train stops so all of the passengers may disembark and stretch their legs and FEED the GOATS!  Yes, there is a sweet little petting zoo on the train’s route and both of my girls loved the goats.  They loved that they could feed the goats, too.

When it was time to leave, they both asked if we could come back to Traintown again.  A sure sign that it was a hit with them!

I hope you enjoyed this peek into our trip to Traintown.

Next up in the Life Story series is my friend and very talented photographer Kathleen Weibel of Kathleen Weibel Photography.  You won’t want to miss her lifestory about going to Disney World!

Until next time,

Nicole
