Anyway, we had a wonderful time. We boarded the frontrunner at Woods cross and it took us downtown. Then we hooped on the Trax to Trolly Square. We walked for a block to my favorite eating place, Cafe Rio. Then got back on the train heading home. The trip lasted 5 hours and it was fun mainly because our kids loved it.
It was a fun, inexpensive, family date filled with lots of laughs. The kids rode free, James too because he is a student at the U. I had to buy a ticket. I made a 'pretend' ticket for Diana and daddy walked down the isle saying 'tickets, please.' Yes, we had a few people around us. The things parents do for their kids...
What do you guys do with your kids and family that is fun but inexpensive especially in the winter? We did this a few days ago and the weather was nice and warm..
What a great idea! The children may be small, but they'll remember this special family day on the train! Very, very sweet! Happy Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteThanx Kris. My husband is doing his masters degree and working full time. So, it has been really hard for us to find time to play together. When we do, we think of the kids first. Childhood is such a special time.
ReplyDeleteHanging out with our parents was the best thing too
ReplyDeleteMable do you remember the times we would crawl up in mum and dad's bed on a weekend just to take turns playing music on dad' s old precious record player and we would sing to his old music.that was heaven to have a chance to play because of how fragile it was...

That is hilarious.. especially because it was an antique and dad was very protective over it. We had a fun childhood, awesome parents and I am lucky to have you as a sister:) Thanx for the laugh
