Train Ride

Last Saturday we went on a fun family outing to a park where an organization of train lovers gives free miniature train rides. I found out about it just through searching the internet for fun, local, free activities for kids! And since Bo LOVES trains, I thought this would be perfect. And really, the day could not have been better!! We left about 9:30 AM and arrived shortly after 10. Since the hurricane we have had some really great weather and this day was no exception. We waited in line for our first ride for about 20 minutes. Talking with others in line, we found out that the line normally stretches out and around the building and you may have to wait for an hour to ride, not to mention that it's usually blazing hot! Because of the hurricane, we had great weather and a much, much shorter wait!! We didn't even have to wait for our second ride! The only thing we didn't get to do was ride the train with the steam engine. I guess we'll have to wait until next month - the free rides are only on the third Saturday of every month.
