To Oceanside...by train!

Thursday's with Sadie! Oceanside
This week we decided after getting Sadie a new haircut, we would take the commuter train to the beach. I couldn't decide if we would switch trains after we got to Oceanside and head to other parts of the coast, but once we got there and looked around we decided it was a great place to stop.
Sadie looked for shells on the beach and found lots of little pieces, which we carried home in our pockets. We're hoping to do a little collage that reminds us of some of our outings from this year and we both decided that shells would make a wonderful addition.
The train was really neat. It was quiet and nice to sit and relax instead of driving us all over the place. It took about 45 minutes to get all the way to Oceanside, but I definitely enjoyed the ride. I was nice to have the excuse to have to walk everywhere, instead of taking the car.
The weather was beautiful, it's hard to believe it's January! Sadie loves chasing off the seagulls. There were plenty out today for her to terrorize!
We walked out on the pier, but she was disappointed I didn't have any
quarters for the "lookie thingy."
We had a wonderful time together, she even got to take a little nap on the train. Maybe our next trip we'll leave earlier and get a chance to check out some other areas we can get to on the train.
