A Day out with Thomas

We spent our Saturday with Thomas the Train!  The Colorado Railroad Museum, located in Golden (about 30 minutes from Denver), hosts a Day out with Thomas Event each year.   This was our second year to attend.  It is so much fun!  I thought Jackson loved it last year but this year was even better.  He ran from exhibit to exhibit with a huge smile on his face.

The ticket price includes admission to the museum, a 25 minute ride on a full size Thomas and access to all of the carnival style Thomas exhibits.  It is definitely a Thomas enthusiast's paradise and Jackson was in heaven.  He had his picture taken with Thomas, met Sir Topham Hatt for story time and played with all of the elaborate train sets in the Imagination Station.  A local fire station brought one of its trucks for the kids to sit in.  They also passed out jr. fireman helmets to all the kids.  The regular trains at the museum are fun to look at and explore as well.   It was a great family outing and we are already looking forward to next year!
