Ashley and Ava play with stamps in the roundhouse.Thomas the Train, himself, showed up at the North Carolina Transportation Museum in Spencer earlier this month, so we, along with the Lilly family, took advantage of the opportunity to meet him, Bob the Builder and Sir Toppemhat (sp?)...and of course take a train ride. It was chilly and rainy earlier in the morning, but within an hour or so, the sun came out full force, and it turned out to be a very warm day. The kids thrilled at the thought of Thomas pulling their train, and the model train set-up inside the roundhouse was a huge hit. The organizers did a great job of creating a fun-filled, adventurous, affordable day. Among the free activities: coloring and stamping tables, train tables, tattoo stations, bubble-blowing and sidewalk chalk areas, mini-golf, bouncehouses, Bob-the-Builder show, as well as entry to the museum exhibits. This may become an annual trip!

Thomas, puff, puff, puffing down the track!
