A GeoTrax Fantasyland

To thoroughly examine the huge Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania, one would need to allow several days. However, we only had one morning on our next to last vacation day to fit it all in, so we attacked the task at full-steam. After walking around and through over 100 train cars for nearly three hours, the boys were totally beat and cranky until we discovered the Stewart Junction. This hands-on learning area offered model trains of all kinds. When Davey and Benji saw the GeoTrax and Thomas the Train tables, their adrenalin began pumping overtime. After another 45 minutes, they were done. Hunger, exhaustion and over stimulation resulted in sensory overload. We carried the crying, worn out boys to the car, where they fell immediately into a deep satisfied sleep. Exhaustion like this only comes from total enjoyment in the morning’s activities.
