We went to Durango, CO over Memorial Day weekend to ride the Silverton train. Naomi loves trains and we have bought her some Thomas the Train toys that she loves to play with. She was so excited to see a train close up and even more excited that she was going to ride in it. It is a 3.5 hour trip each way, with a 2 hour stay in Silverton.
Naomi took a nap on the way there. We were hoping this would happen on the way back, but she woke everyone up at 5 am, so I don't blame her. You can tell by the look on my face that I'm ready for a nap too!
We stopped to restock the water along the way and I was able to stick my head out of the train to get this shot. That's the Animas River (really fun for rafting, but not with a two year old, we'll try that when she's older).
This is the A Frame cabin we rented. It was so nice! It could have accommodated 7 people, but it was perfect for 3. It was great to have a microwave and fridge available to us (plus the necessary coffee maker!).
This is the view from our cabin. We are actually closer to Mancos than Durango (don't worry if you haven't heard of it). Durango was so crowded with all the people getting away for Memorial Day that it was actually nice to be removed from the crowds. We did end up eating most of our meals in Durango since Mancos doesn't actually have any restaurants.We had such a good time, but I think everyone is glad to be home (I know I am!).
