Train Withdrawal Pains

On the fourth day of our vacation the boys suffered major ‘Choo Choo’ withdrawals. While Sandy was at work, we set up their toy GeoTrax train set in the hotel room, but this thrill paled in comparison to seeing thirty-three cabooses and the constant stream of train videos they had enjoyed over the previous three days. At lunch Davey whined, “No food; I want to see more trains,” so during their afternoon nap, I searched the web for Syracuse cabooses and found none. Later, the boys and I drove around inspecting playgrounds and looking vainly for cabooses. The closest I found was a trolley at the Spaghetti Factory restaurant, which we later enjoyed.
