Flowers and Trains

Nikos recently had his first field trip at the Conservatory of Flowers in Golden Gate Park in San Francisco. The conservatory has a train exhibit - which was the main driver for the location. Nikos was fortunate enough to have not just me tag along for the field trip but Grammy and Pop-Pop as well.

Nikos (on the left) and his classmates patiently waiting for everyone to join us so we could enter the exhibit.
The kids spent some time looking at all of the flowers - which were beautiful! - while asking us how soon we could go see the trains.

Nikos is the bedhead second from the right. I obviously need to make some time for a haircut.

Spying from behind the plants.

Here are some shots I was able to take of the beautiful flowers while my Mom kept an eye on Nikos.

And finally - on to the train room! Obviously this was Niko's favorite part.

The exhibit was all built out of reclaimed materials - check out the Ghiradelli in the background, made out of switch plates.

Nikos waiting for Thomas to come around again.

Checking out the other trains.

And finally, the whole class posing in front of the Conservatory.

Can't wait for the next field trip - hopefully I'll have to ask for the day off for the next one. :)
