Train Show

Yesterday morning, Andy and I went to the "World's Greatest Hobby on Tour" train show in downtown KC, MO, or as Andy might describe it, "Heaven." There were many intricate model trains running throughout the exhibition hall, which lead to a lot of pointing....

Our favorite exhibit was an extremely long freight train, that slowly chugged along the track (thus it was continually referred to as the "Slow Train" for the rest of the day). The track was only a foot or so off the ground, which allowed for a close look...

In addition to the model trains, there was a play area set up with 100+ Thomas the Train toys and tents. Andy, as usual, enjoyed the toy trains. He emphatically wanted to make sure I saw the "milk" tanker car...

We topped off the outing with a quick bite to eat at McDonald's - Andy loves those chicken McNuggets (but not as much as trains)!

All in all, it was a great time!
