Day Out With Thomas 2011

Today was our first Day Out With Thomas, and it definitely won't be our last. Will, Patrick, Patti, Bonnie, Stella and Maggie all ventured out to the B&O Railroad Museum in Baltimore to spend the day among trains, including a life-size Thomas.

Thomas pulled some coaches right past our parking lot when we pulled in and Will was speechless. His jaw was honestly hanging down and he couldn't answer our questions - he just nodded his head when we asked if he saw Thomas. After a short walk, we were surrounded by trains of all sizes and colors.

We took a 25-minute ride in a coach pulled by Thomas and Will had such a good time sitting on Mimi's lap and looking out the window. He was enthralled by the conductor punching his ticket. He even checked in with Maggie and Stella to see if they were having as much fun as he was.



The museum itself is incredible. The whole museum is built over a working turntable (in the picture below). There must be 20 trains inside the museum, another dozen or so outside, and countless other trains in disrepair along the tracks.
