All Aboard!

The boys were invited to a birthday party at the Transportation Museum in Roanoke.  We had been before and it is a very good museum.  It is right on part of the railroad system and so there are lots of old trains to look at.  This time they actually had a train we could ride!  We rode in the refurbished caboose and once was not enough.  We had to go two times!

The caboose. We sat up in the top part!

 There were two sides with two sections of seats.  Troy took Caleb and Simon to sit with him on one section.

Josh and I sat in the other section facing them.

On the other side were the rest of the kids for the party.  They really had so much fun!

 There is a little kitchen area with wood burning stove and all.  It was so fun to imagine the life that the men had on these trains. 

Chugging along!
