Train watching...

Much to the chagrin of some members of my family, I suggested a trip to our local train station this afternoon. I read online that there was a Railroad Days event this weekend. As we pulled out of the driveway, hubby reminded me that the family likes to act out its regular Sunday afternoon routine which consists of lots of quiet and naps. This is why my idea was not met with much excitement.

I conceded that, if we got there and everyone hated it, we could go back home. It's only a 10 minute drive, after all. We all knew that On the Loose would love it as he is a train fanatic. This event did not disappoint!

There were several large tents set up with model trains run by local clubs. They really were fascinating and fun to watch. The baby really did love the whole experience including a tour of a caboose and sleeping car.

Here are some photos:









I think, all in all, eveyone would have to agree that it was worth the trip. We even had ice-cream. For On the Loose...trains and ice-cream? Truly a little piece of heaven on Sunday!
