Choo Choooooooo...

It is Spring Break week at the Womble Times so I decided to take the kids to do something fun. Courtney and Jacob agreed to tag along with us and all of the Wombles were thrilled about that. Last summer at a silent auction, I won a getaway package with lots of fun things to do. I decided now was the time to use it. We left early Tuesday morning on a mission to find the Choo Choo. The kids did great in the car and we were there in no time. J and Jacob shared their car toys so well on the way. We were impressed. Here we are waiting to board the train. The children were so excited! MG must of said "choo choo" at least 100 times. The train ride was 50 minutes round trip. We rode to the train station at the end of the line, got off and then watched the "train workers" turn the engine around. That was pretty cool. We wandered around the mini train yard grabbing a few pictures, of course. Then we hopped back on for our return ride. Jacob was not impressed with having his picture made on the train. This ones for you Court.We spent the rest of the day feeding our famished crew, checking in the hotel and walking around the city. Ms. Courtney somehow signed herself up for the job of little boy wrangler while I had stroller duty. I think I got the easier end of that deal. Thanks friend! Here they are walking over the plexiglass pedestrian bridge. I have this little fear of heights so it wasn't my favorite part of the day. There was no other way to get to the other side so I walked swiftly and didn't look down. Glad the baby girl couldn't actually see the look on my face. I'm sure it was priceless. I was very impressed with the downtown area of C-nooga. They have really put a lot of work into making it family friendly. If you haven't been in a while you should load up the kids and go for a day or two. We will definitely go back to finish up the tickets we didn't have time to use. The kids had a great time.
