Transportation Museum

Sat we went to the transportation museum so that Collin could see the trains. Since he's been sick (croup) we really wanted to do something special for him...not to mention the fact that I feel like we really neglect him sometimes b/c Addie's needs are more immediate (logically I know we don't neglect him but....). It was a short drive. It was a little hot but he had a blast. We rode a real train then Collin and daddy rode the turntable at the roundhouse. It was nice to see his face just light up as the train blew the whistle and started moving.

After the museum we stopped back through Lexington to have BBQ. I read an article in Our State magazine about a BBQ restaurant there that had this stuff called Q soup. Apparently a number of years ago it was an ice cream shop and they still have some kind of HUGE banana split. When Collin saw it he, of course, wanted one. We knew we couldn't put a dent into it but we got it anyway. Everyone, including Addie, had a little ice cream.

It was really nice to have a family day when we didn't have to run errands. We'll have to make more of an effort to do that at least 1x/mo.
