When our son was 2, we went to ride on Thomas the train at the Orange Empire Railway Museum in Perris. It's about 90 minutes to drive there (north of Temecula). It's well worth it if your child loves Thomas. There are many Thomas related activities and of course, the big thing is to ride Thomas the train. While you're on the train, you can't tell it's Thomas. But when the train pulls up and you see his big blue face, that's a picture perfect moment for your child! Thomas is at the station on Nov 7, 8, 11, 14 and 15. For more info, go to www.oerm.org For discount tickets, go to www.ticketweb.com/dowt and enter the promotional code DOWT2009 Have fun!
