The NC Transportation Museum is only about 45 minutes from us in Spencer, NC. Twice a year, Thomas the Train comes to the museum and you can ride him! Since Jack LOVES his Thomas train table, we decided to take the kids this past weekend. It was really cute and we got to see quite a few HUGE trains. It's incredible to think that by train was the most convenient way to travel only a hundred years ago!
The only faux pas was that I had told the kids over and over that we were going to ride on Thomas. Well, when it was time to ride, we boarded one of the passenger cars that Thomas was pulling. The kids got quite upset that we didn't get to actually ride ON Thomas. I tried to explain that only the conductor actually rides on Thomas, but it was no use. Ooops! Mommy fail. I'll have to be more exact with my wording next time. We still had a fun trip, though!;)

| There was an awesome display train that had buttons the kids could push to make things move and light up. |

| Jack, of course, liked the excavator button the best.:) |
