East Coast Times

As I mentioned before, we recently took a trip to Fairfield, Pennsylvania (southeast corner near Gettysburg). John had business in Virginia, about an hour and a half from his family so the boys and I tagged along. It was a fun visit and the weather was nice. We went to a children's museum in Gettysburg one day. Its just a old house that an older couple has converted into a museum. The kids particuarly liked the bubble machine, train table, construction zone. Jeffrey painted some pictures. Another day we went to a train museum in near by Haggerstown, MD. There were a bunch of toy trains ran by train fanatics. They all tried to talk to me about their trains-the types, the engines, the cars etc-but it went way over my head. I thought I had a fair base knowledge of trains because of my boys interest but the visit to the museum blew that notion out of the water. The last day we were there we had a brunch with John's Grandma Brown and played games. Thank you Earl and Janice for letting us come visit!-oh and Spencer, you too-for getting us hooked on guitar hero.

This is a classic picture of Jeffrey, jumping up and down
waving his arms.

Looks like fun! That bubble machine is cool! My kids would have loved it, and the trains! How neat that you got to visit family. It wasn't too cold? :)

oooohh, what envy Michael would have if he knew what he was missing! Trains are one of his obsessions, second only to large trucks and other heavy machinery. Your boys are so handsome!

We went to that children's museum when we were there in October. The bubble machine and the trains were the favorites of Jacob (Andrew was still a little young). Looks like you guys had fun.
