Awaiting the train

I went with Edna for a fun train trip to Ventura, Cali. First we took the amtrak train up there. I love riding trains! We had lunch at a fun 50s type diner. Also stopped by the beach front. Its really nice. See the pics above.

Entrance to Pomona College

I went with Edna to see Claremont as there are 5 colleges there and it is supposed to be a cute town. It was easy to get there via Metro link train. We walked the campuses of all five colleges and even went to have lunch in one of the dining halls. I think Pomona College is the oldest and most prestigious one. It seemed like most of them were high cost private for rich kids 🙂
