This morning we picked up Liam and Seamus at "school" later than planned, realizing that we would need to move along quickly to arrive in Strasburg on time. Clay went to Liam's room and I headed to get Seamus, only to find out that his class was "out for a walk around the block" in some unknown (to me) location. Figuring Liam would know, we all jumped in the car. Liam wasn't certain, but eyed his brother's class three blocks away. "He recognized Miss Lisa's jacket."
We arrived just in time to quickly get our tickets and visit the porta potties - necessary with pre-schoolers - and get onto the train. The kids enjoyed it a lot.
After the train ride we visited Sir Topham Hatt, rode on several more small trains, and had a picnic on a bench. The kids rode on cranky cars, got tattoos, and played with small model trains. The Thomas staff were all kid-friendly. There were lots of opportunities to spend more money on shirts, souvenirs, photos, and we mostly resisted.
Both kids fell asleep on the ride back for some well-needed rest.
