Giveaway to Thomas & Friends at Orange Empire Railway Museum in Perris, California

The Orange Empire Railway Museum has been preserving Southern California’s railway history since 1956.  A visit to the train museum is a trip back in time to when trains, conductors, whistles, bells and steam were a part of the way we traveled.

The museum houses over 200 historic railway cars and locomotives from Los Angeles and the West.  Their mission is to educate the public on the technology, history, and impact of the rail transportation industry.  The museum’s massive railroad collection also includes Red Cars – Pacific Electric, Yellow Cars – L.A. Railway, Santa Fe, Southern Pacific, Union Pacific and 3-Foot Gauge – Grizzly Flats.

Day Out With Thomas: The Celebration Tour offers aspiring engineers and their families the opportunity to take a 25-minute ride with Thomas, the famous #1 engine, and a 15-minute ride with his railway friend Percy.  Sir Topham Hatt, the Superintendent of the Railroad, will also be back again this year.

Spend the day enjoying a wide range of activities perfect for children including:

  • See and hear Thomas The Tank Engine talk to his fans!
  • Stop by the Thomas & Friends Imagination Station with train tables and building activities.

14 Summer Camp Deals for Kids in Southern California (Part I)

This post contains affiliate links.

With summer right around the corner, I am currently deciding which summer camps I want to send my kids to this year.  Attending summer camp allows children to discover new hidden talents, refine old skills and make new friends.

This summer Field Trip Boy is going to attend both a LEGO Engineering and Nature Camp in Orange County.  We are also considering signing him up for a tennis or water polo camp and drawing lessons.  Field Trip Girl is still undecided, but most likely she will at least attend soccer and gymnastics camps.

But here’s the secret!  I don’t like to spend a fortune on summer entertainment!  And right now my inbox is flooded daily with amazing summer camps deals.  Therefore, I wanted to share with you some of these deals in a new blog series titled Southern California Kid’s Summer Camp Deals
