Strasburg

We've been getting a lot of heat about visiting Strasburg, PA - what with its old trains and all:
And Amish and all:

First up, we rode the old Strasburg train - it's no TGV/ICE, but Michael liked it:

It was fun for like 15 minutes. But after 15 minutes of going 10 mph - we were wondering when the ride was going to be over. :)

In the mean time, I took some pictures, of course:

Michael is a HUGE fan of these self-powered trains:
Then, we popped over to the #2 attraction in Strasburg, according to tripadvisor. The Pennsylvania Railroad Museum:
Lots of trains indoors - some of which we could look in, some of which we could not. I'm not sure it was such a hit with us, but we can now say we saw it.

Michael was really interested in the miniature train display they had. So in reality, we should have taken him to the #4 attraction in Strasburg, the Choo Choo Barn. It's got LOTS of miniature train displays and I suggested taking Michael there next.

But Brian looked at me and said, "I think that sounds like a nice MOMMY and Michael activity." OK. It's right by the outlet mall. :)

Michael enjoyed Putt Putt golf the most in Strasburg, PA:

SO we could have just stayed nearby us and played putt putt. :)

That was what we did on Sunday during Memorial Day Weekend. We spent Saturday and Monday working around the house. It takes a lot of work to maintain our yard and Brian's garden!

What did you guys do for Memorial Day Weekend?
