Trains!!

My dad came to visit of Labor Day weekend. We had a nice visit and while he was here, we decided to go to the train museum. I had heard good things about it, but had never been. 

So we loaded up and headed to Union City.

I had no idea what to expect, but I have to admit that I was pleasantly surprised!

 We started off looking at an old subway car from New York. The kids thought it was super cool. I thought we were just going to get on and look around. However when we did the conductor came by and said we were leaving. I did not realize how many different trains you got to ride. If you have kids that love trains, and are in this area, you have to stop.

 This was a re-created old train station.

 Here we are on the subway car getting ready to leave.

 We went in one of their many buildings and looked at the trains that they had on display. You could spend a very very long time there if you wanted to.

 The kids wanted a picture with this. They liked it because it was a cartoon. I liked it because that is what I say most days, "I think I can, I think I can". ;0)

 Good Advice!

 This was the second to the last train we rode. Not a whole lot of seating but Garran made friends with the conductor and learned all sorts of interesting facts.

Thanks Grandpa Jeff for a fun weekend.
