Model Train Show Surprise

After learning of our twins’ interest in trains, the owner of Roe’s Deli suggested we visit the model train show at H&R Trains just a few blocks away. Our expectations were low, but we drove over to check it out anyway. What we found blew us away. Just a walk through this fabulous model train store would be an event, but what we found outside under a huge circus tent was brilliant. Dozens of model railroaders had set up their exhibits competing for the best of show award. The boys were fascinated by all the trains of various sizes and were especially excited each time they saw their favorite train, Thomas. We spent over an hour at this unplanned stop and cried when we left. Like General MacArthur, we shall return one day.
