Wilmington & Western Railroad

We finally made it on the train!  I've been wanting to take the kids ever since we moved here, but Lexi was small and still needed naps and snacks.  But this summer we don't need any of that.  And the best part?  The kids were free this particular day (June 1st).  Yippee!!!!  How can you turn that opportunity down?  You can't, and we didn't!

 

We got there at noon to pick up the tickets and found our seats.

The kids sat together and I got to enjoy the ride actually sitting with my hubby instead of across from him :)

 Don't lose those tickets!  The lady needs to punch them....

We had a nice leasurly ride up into the White Clay Creek.  Along the way they talked about the history of stuff we were passing.  And people always waved to the train as we crossed roads and stuff.  The scenery was gorgeous!

 At the end of the ride we stoppd and had a snack and checked out the river

 Of course, she's playing in the dirt.... Hahaha

 Toot toot!  All aboard!

 Checking out the giant wheels

Back to civilization... Sigh...  It was nice while it lasted :)
