Ridin' the rails

For those of you who have been paying attention, you may have noticed that my latest obsession is trains. I asked Mom and Dad if we could live in a train and when they said no, I took off down the rails like a hobo in the 1930s. Mom and Dad promptly caught me and we made a compromise ... we could live in a train for a night. And that's what we did.
The family visited Strasburg, PA, train capital of the USA. We stayed at the Red Caboose Motel and had our very own caboose, The Canadian Pacific!We even ate in a train car! It was awesome!

And then we rode the rails! The Strasburg Railroad is a cool nine mile ride on a real steam engine. Parker slept most of the ride, but I liked looking out the window and telling the train to go faster.

I took a ride on this Thomas the Tank Engine and went for a ride on Dad to see the train setups at the Choo Choo Barn.

Upstairs from the Choo Choo Barn is Thomas the Tank Engine HEAVEN! There's a store with every piece of Thomas stuff ever made, from sippy cups to the entire Isle of Sodor (that's where Tomas lives, you know). Mom and Dad got me a few things, and tried to get me out of there before I took EVERYTHING off the shelves, saying, "and I buy this and I buy this and I buy this." I guess I need a job!
