Last weekend we had a great adventure! We traveled to Lancaster to go to the "Day Out With Thomas" at the Strasburg Railroad. It was our second time to visit Thomas, and it was just as much fun as the first time!
On Saturday we headed across the state on the turnpike and much to Colin's delight our trip was filled with toll booths and tunnels. We had an easy trip and made it to our hotel just in time to settle in and have a swim! Before jumping in the pool we set up the kids air mattresses in the bedroom of our suite. I had to get a picture because we were all squeezed in one room so tightly, it was pretty funny!
We swam in the pool until the kids were shivering and blue lipped. And then we ALL soaked in the hot tub. Gillian was in HEAVEN. She wants to be that warm ALWAYS. It took Colin a while to get into the "warm" thing, but eventually he seemed to like it. Daddy and I sure did!
After our swim the kids got a quick bath and then this happened:
You can tell they "like living in a hotel" as Colin told us. Even BlueBlue liked living in a hotel.
We had a great dinner with our friends Tim and Betsy and their son Luke. They traveled from the DC area to meet up with us for some Thomas fun! The men ate sausages and drank smoked beer, the kids ate SOMETHING, and Betsy and I had a nice visit. Love good friends like that!
Sunday morning we were up and up 'em early (After Mommy ended up sleeping on the couch because the kids tossing and turning was driving me bonkers. Sigh) and we were off to see Thomas!
Parking lot shot...
Engineers!
We took some shots with Thomas! We bought one from the photographer and miraculously it is a WONDERFUL picture of the four of us! Woo hoo!
Cute one of Tim, Betsy, and Luke!
Then we took our ride on the THOMAS!
Three cute kiddos!
Horrible picture of me, but it's a fantastic picture of Gillian, so I'm including it.
After our 15 minute ride on Thomas we took in all the other FUN that came with our tickets...rides, train tables, and such!
Colin wanted his picture with the Diesels.
Daddy got lots of pictures coming and going from the station too.
He's so cool, right?
We had a very fun time! The kids really enjoyed themselves and we love seeing them have so much fun! Thomas WE LOVE YOU!

Love the picture of Daddy and Mini-Me!
What a fun outing! E is now familiar enough with Thomas that she would LOVE to do that!
Beautiful pictures! Thomas often comes to the North Carolina Transportation Museum which is about 30 miles from here. It was a sad day when my great nephew outgrew his Thomas love.
How fun!! LOVE the look on the kids' faces as they are riding on Thomas- especially Colin. Oh and love the shot of G pulling C around the hotel room by his arm. :)
