A few weeks ago we went to the New York Museum of Transportation in Rush, New York. It's located a few minutes from my mom's house. The great part about this little museum is that they offer train rides. The kids got the biggest thrill from riding a real train. It's not a very long trip (actually perfect for little ones) but you get to travel in the country and see the foliage (which unfortunately hadn't peaked at the time we went). My mom's grandfather, Michael McNellan, was a conductor and brakeman on the Lehigh Valley Railroad for 45 years. I wonder if he had ever stood in the cars we were in.
I love the look on his face in this picture and the fact that he's holding his ticket

Hmm. Lily was still sizing up the operation.
I wish I could have taken this sign home with me. Very cool. My great-grandfather lived in Waverly, NY (outside of Elmira) so he may have seen this sign.

Had to get a picture in front of the Kodak car!

Sorry this is blurry but it was difficult to take pictures in the station with the lighting.
At least Lil dressed the part.
