the day after Thanksgiving...early in the morning we woke brody up and told him he was going to get to ride the train to D.C. he was so excited he jumped right out of bed. brody loves trains! we see them all the time around Richmond and he always ask to ride on one. well this day was his lucky day!
and lucky for us we have an Amtrak Station just a few minutes away from us. So i dropped the boys off at the train station and they rode the train up to D.C. and i drove and picked them up in D.C.
well to say the least brody was in heaven and loved every minute of it. tyson said brody was plastered to the window the entire ride. how fun for a little boy. he was bursting at the seams with happiness!
once i picked up the boys we decided to for go a trip to one of the museums and go hit up the zoo. it was a beaaaautiful warm day! we enjoyed seeing a bunch of the animals that were out and about. but after about an hour and a half. we were all ready to head home. so that's just what we did. a fun quick train ride up and a quick quiet sleepy ride home.
and you know what? i don't think there is anything much better than a fun little adventure, even if it is only for a few hours. it's always the little things that seem to matter the most. and when you mix in favorite things and pure happiness, you can't help but be filled with a great joy!
