Jeffery and I had a Date with the Santa Train in Portola at the Western Pacific Railroad Museum last night. First we ate at Lena's Cantina, then on to the show! The darkness made most of my photos blurry, so I only have a few to offer. For $5 and 3 cans of food, we had a blast, and we want to go back in the daylight, because we were reminded how cool the RR Museum is!
