a warm and sunny day was forecasted last Saturday. there are a few activities we have in mind for boo. we could visit the Sydney Aquarium, check out the Sydney Winter Festival, take an hour drive out of Sydney for some mandarin picking at an orchard or go catch the steam trains run by the Sydney Live Steam Locomotive Society. we opted for the steam train as it is only open from 1:30pm to 4:30pm every third saturday of the month and if we missed it this month, we'd have to wait for next month and who knows if the weather will be nice.
this is actually not our first visit. we have previously been here back in the Easter long weekend with some friends. both Jim and i had the wrong footwear on so we couldn't go on any rides with boo. lucky he was happy to go with the other kids and their parents.
there are three miniature railways that offer rides on miniature steam trains. we got there about half past three and the place is packed. everyone was making the most of the glorious weather to be outdoor. the queues to the three train lines were quite long. each of these railways offer different route and scene. some longer than the others and some goes over a miniature bridge. we picked the shortest queue and within ten minutes, boo and Jim got on the miniature train. they have two miniature trains for each railway so the queue moved fairly quickly. boo didn't mind the queue so they went on all the three railways.
this weekend, we're going to the Sydney Aquarium.
