Shaun decided that I had been hiding in the bedroom too long and it was time to come out into the real world. After all the kids went to their other parents for the weekend, we grabbed the cameras and headed out.
I like old Sacramento, but we had already gone down there a few weekends ago and taken pictures. On our way to some unknown picture taking place I saw the old train station. I convinced Shaun (very quickly) that we should at least go check it out.
Long story short, I got to go for a ride on Amtrak! I’ve never been on a train before. It was so exciting!! We only went 20 minutes from home, but it was by train so it made the destination THAT much cooler.
When we got back, Shaun took me to play with the fish at the fishy store. Okay, he brought me to the fishy store so HE could play with the fishies.
I swear, if you’re depressed…go to the fish store. I was cured. I wanted to take this one fish home with me because he was so fun (as you can clearly see from the picture.)
After the fishy store we found this little retro shop that had all these really cool 80’s prom dresses and flashy jackets.
I told the woman behind the counter that I had escaped the ‘burbs of Rocklin for the day and that I just wanted to try on some wigs. She could tell I wasn’t kidding because I had that ‘I’ve been living with the yuppies‘ blank look and dark circles of depression and anxiety around my eyes.
You saw my Frenchie wig…now check out the Jessica Rabbit Wig…
Meow.

I’ve never been on an Amtrak but it runs by my house somewhere. I think. We have a train station at least. How fun for you though! I wanna ride a train! I rode a train thingy in Chicago and Milwaukee, does that count?
Love the wigs!! They’re great!
I love taking the train. My mom takes it about once a month into New York City. My mom used to take us to NY every christmas season to see the Rocketts, ice skate in central park, etc!
Glad you got out I am sure you really needed it!
Amtrak rocks. I would marry Amtrak if the government would let me.
So, are you not bad you’re just drawn that way now?
You mkae a smashing red head. Sorry to hear your blue. I have been too…blah blah blah right? Hang in there and glad to hear Shaun got you out and about!
What fun! I’m glad you got out, went on a train, played with fish, and took a Jessica pick! You look HOT!
Kristine- love the site– totally great! Sorry I haven’t been here before. I love riding the train- my favorite thing about the east coast is the commuter trains. Amtrak is way nicer. Did you get to see the club car with the food? Fun!
that fish is HUGE! was it salt or fresh water (if you remember)?
I hope you bought one of those wigs! That could be fun ;)
That fish was cool. He’d totally play with you and ram his face against the side of the tank when you got close to him.
I like the red on you. Also, even tho you have been blue for awhile, I haven’t seen this many gorgeous smiling pics of you in a looooooong time. I love it!
You’re beautiful! xoxoxox
Your sissy
What a great wig — Tell me you bought it!
That red wig makes you look even hotter!
Now I wanna take a train ride :(
Blue #3
You do have a gorgeous smile Pretty Lady. It lights up your entire face.
I used to ride Amtrak down to Bakersfield (YES Bakersfield) to visit my best freind after she moved. I HATED it as a teenager, but I bet I’d appreciate it more now.
Thanks for sharing some of your pics from your adventure. As usual, they’re awesome.
“That red wig makes you look even hotter!”
Yep, that’s what this girl wanted to hear!! hee hee.
No, I didn’t buy it. Thanks for the compliments on the pictures (better ones on my Flickr)
