A Day Out With Thomas

Yesterday we drove to Strasburg, PA so the boys could have "A Day Out With Thomas". We could have done this in Baltimore but the tickets sold out so quick that the next closest event was in Strasburg, PA. I didn't mind the drive because I knew it would be worth it and it was a part of PA that we have never been to.

When we decided to get the tickets all we did was look on the map to see if Strasburg was in driving distance with two kids. I knew nothing about the town or the people that live there. As we are approaching the town of Strasburg I start to get the feeling that we aren't in Kansas anymore. We knew we were in Amishville USA! New post coming Monday. Stay Tuned!!!


Here comes Thomas!


All Aboard!!


You can tell he loved this.


Here we are on board of Thomas.


This little guy never knows what is going on. He was a good sport and really had fun.

This is a view from the train. This event was set up like a county fair. They had tents set up with yummy food, funnel cakes, and homemade lemonade. Of course we ate a Philly cheese steak which was the greatest sandwich I have ever put in my mouth.

They had all kinds of activities for the kids and Tucker really loved this one.



I had to get a pick of Jacob with his hat on because he only had it on for about 30 seconds.


In one tent they had about 4 different train table set up for the kids to try out. It sounds like a good idea but the kids did not want to share the trains so we moved on to better things.


This was my favorite part, a Thomas Train made out of Lego's.




The best way to end a wonderful day.
