Wednesday we embarked on a family evening of dinner and a ride on the Train of Lights:http://www.ncry.org/
It was a good time all around. We started with a stop for dinner at Bosco's Bones and Brew:

At bit on the pricey side for what you get. Their big claim to fame is a dog that was mayor once and its replica urinates beer. Hey, what do you expect? It's Sunol!
The train ride was pretty cool - starting in Sunol and heading down to Fremont and back via the Niles Canyon Railway. The experience is probably geared more towards smaller kids (Santa makes an appearance), but the boys had a great time. Josh only spent maybe 10 minutes of the trip texting people and Kyle made the observation that "This would be a cool place to pop the question." Umm, dude, you are 14, hang tight for a few more years please!
If you go, get there early (30 minutes should be good), so you can get a good seat. I suggest sitting outside (kind of the whole point of the ride in my opinion), but bring a blanket and warm clothes for sure. Gloves and hats would be good.
