Train Ride to Union Station

On Saturday, January 3, we hopped on a train in Rancho Cucamonga and met Faye, Kelli, Jake and Hannah at a train station in Covina and then all rode together to Union Station in Los Angeles. We have taken this trip several times and always have a blast. Sawyer especially loved the train ride as his latest obsession is trains.



Here we are posing in front of a beautiful Christmas tree inside Union Station. I just love how beautiful Union station is. The architecture is beautiful and it takes me back to a period long before I was born.



We ate lunch at the famous Phillipes where the french dip sandwhich was born. This place prides itself in never changing. They have been open for 100 years and it is always a fun place to go. To think my Grandpa used to each lunch there many years ago is kinda cool too. You can tell how popular it is by this picture!



Chris and I had never been to China town so we walked over to it. While we were walking we ran into some pretty weird people especially this guy. He was riding a scooter and had a hat made out of all sorts of trash. He was trying to get attention! We ended up giving him our left over sandwiches from Philippes and he ate them!

We also went to Olvera Street and got yummy Churros filled with Dulce de Leche. We walked through and let the kids pick out a cheap toy that broke before we got home! Then we took the long train ride back home after a fun filled day!
