Day Out with Thomas

Today, we took the boys to see Thomas the Train at the Kentucky Railway Museum in New Haven, KY. We had a great time! We rode a real train, led by Thomas himself! We saw a little magic show and met Sir Topham Hat. I have to admit that before I had children I didn't know who any of these characters were, but now I can sing the "theme song" in my sleep and name off the train's names, numbers, colors, and pretty much describe their personalities! Amazing what we learn for our kids!
The Cream Station is a little restaurant off the square in New Haven. It was a fun place that was very authentic to a little town with a train station in it. It served diner type food and ice cream and had a grill outside. This was Chad's favorite part of the day, so I wanted to include this family photo. After today, we learned that Bardstown (which is just outside New Haven), would be a great over night trip for us (no kids) and some other couples. There are a few bed and breakfasts and amphitheatre for a musical about a person known in Kentucky history (can't remember his name...I'm a Georgia girl!)...looked more intersting than it sounds! Also, "My Old Kentucky Home" sits in Bardstown, so that would be a fun site to see. You can look for pictures from that upcoming trip in late fall.

We ate at this terrific little 'mom and pop' restaurant just off the town square called the Cream Station. The food was delicious and it even had a train that circled around the top of the room while we ate. Charlie was so captivated that we decided to install one at the top of our kitchen so we could have peaceful meals again...just kidding...
The Cream Station...like it's slogan...was "udderly delightful".
