RN Scoot, they have gone up in price. I used to be able to go to SD for $20 round trip, but it's gone up significantly. Maybe just because it's the holiday? It's a lot of fun to take the train down there and see the coast. Zachary is excited cuz they have a snack car..lol I would have driven down, but I need 3 new tires and do not want to chance a flat (or two) on my way down. Heck, I am even afraid of driving around town!!! NT, that's where I thought. I will be sure and wave and blow kisses for you!!

RN, Wow..they have gone up! You better be sure you get your tires taken care of...that needs to be a priority...especially with the rainy weather coming on. Is Zachary on Winter Break this week? Raelynne goes through tomorrow..and then back on the 8th.

RN, Zachary happens to be in a school system that decided to take breaks that coincide with the school in Mexico, since so many of the kids were just being taken out of school regardless. That is a somewhat controversial topic with many but surely not with the kids! I think the train just makes that trip 100 times more "magical" anyway and you do have Costacat to pick you up and drive down there..

Right now, I'm betting that Zachary is going to have such a great time on the train. Kids love their trains.

RN, yes, Zachary will be very excited on the train. I like taking the train, it's a lot of fun Plus I like that Costa will be waiting when we stop! I am excited to see her. She has plans for Zachary that I am sure will spoil him rotten...lol.

LOL Mama! I had never heard of 3 weeks off before, but when the teacher explained why, it made sense. It would have cost the school more to keep open then the loss of closing it for an extra week. (more than half the school goes to Mexico for the holidays)

RN, Yes that makes since, considering the district. We had a message from the principal the other night, reminding us not to keep our children out of school on the 22nd.

RN, LOL NT, this has only been the 4th day of Z's vacation and it's already too long I did have the teacher make a packet of homework for me so he doesn't get out of practice.
