Columbia, CA--Stage Coach Ride

Today we went to Columbia, CA, Historical State Park. We had a great time. As many of you know my kids and husband love to play cowboys in the house and the backyard. So the thought of being able to go to a real "cowboy" town had us all excited. The town has been preserved and looks much like it did in the mid-1800s.

We even got to ride on a real stage coach. This was not a reproduction either, the coach is an original, restored stage coach. The kids were so excited. They couldn't wait to get on it.


Here we are enjoying the bumpy ride. Chloe couldn't get over how bumpy the ride was. Aidan was thrilled with the whole experience and couldn't get enough. Brenna loved it at first but when the coach started moving she started crying. Once she had Mom she calmed down and enjoyed herself.




Here is the coach crossing Main Street. The street is blocked off for pedestrians and horse-drawn vehicles.

We took this family photo right before the stage coach was stopped by a "robber".

Here is the robber looking for gold. He didn't find anything and let us go on our way. The kids thought it was great. They couldn't believe that they got to see a "bad guy".

Here are some more pictures of us enjoying the ride.
