Today we drove over to Bryson City, NC to take a ride on the GSMR train! It was raining when we arrived so we spent our time in the Lionel Tot Train Railway Museum. They had a LOT of trains moving. One had 3 separate levels of track that totaled over 5000 foot of track! AMAZING! There was so much detail.
We killed a little more time at the Thomas Train table.
Almost time to get on board. I just kept giving Mommy goofy grins when she went to take my picture. Oh well, I guess I have to live with them posted here now!
Watching out the window from the “family first class” coach. There was LOTS of kudzu. I became an expert by the end of the train trip. I could point out all the kudzu between the starting station and the return trip home. PLus I now know that they can make honey from kudzu flowers. COOL!
Despite the rain the views were pretty neat.
Chilling out with Grandma Jo.
We ate lunch on the train and had our own car attendant. She refilled our drinks and even found me hot chocolate to drink!
We arrived at the break point and got out and walked around for a while. This is where the white water rafters pull out after their trips down the river.
Heading back to get on the train to ride home.
I really liked this little waterfall.
On the way back we got to ride on the other side of the train (we all had to swap seats!) so we could see the other scenery.
I had a really great time even if I got wiggly towards the end. That is a long time for a kid to sit still! haha
