Photo Friday: Dennis The Menace Train Now and Then

Last December we took a family trip to Monterey. I was born in the area, so the trip was a fun opportunity to take my kids to do the things I enjoyed when I was there age. Highest on my list of priorities was a visit to climb on the train at Dennis The Menace Park. That's Everest on the train in the top photo, and me as a kid (also in a red jacket!) on the same train.

About Photo Friday:
You are invited to join us for Photo Friday! It's a great way to get to know other bloggers and to help them get to know you. Just post a "Photo Friday" picture on your own blog, and link directly to your post from the linky below (If your url is longer than 100 characters, you will need to use a url shortening service, like bit.ly)

What is Photo Friday?

  • Post a travel photo on your site. It can be about any topic, as long as it is G-rated.
  • The focus of the post should be on your photo.
  • You don't need to be a professional photographer (I'm not), but do showcase your best work, and make it big enough to see well!
  • It's nice to include a few sentences about the photo, but it is not required.
  • Link back here so that your readers can see all the other great Photo Friday posts.

        How fun!...to travel back to your childhood and share it with your own kids and to have both of those photos!

        The Monterrey-area is such a lovely part of the USA :)

        Wow! From blue to black. You should print out these photos and place them side by side with dates!
