A trip down south

We took advantage of the long weekend and went down south to visit Poppy. It was sad visiting without Nanie - just not the same without her. We arrived late Friday and we apparently brought our NY wintery weather with us, Saturday was cold and s.n.o.w.y.!!!! Of course, the city was about ready to shut down and they were expecting 1-2 INCHES of snow!!! I got a good chuckle out of the frenzy - we get an inch of snow daily sometimes!!!! Funny.

Anyway... Poppy's good friend Jim arranged for us to go visit his work at the railroad so Jack could see some BIG trucks and trains. WOW. Jim presented Jack with his very own hardhat and safety glasses . Jack just about died.... he wore the hardhat non-stop over the weekend (which was personalized with his name on the front and back, with the title "Railroader") - even to bed, as you can see in the second photo. I loved the colors of the railway machines and the shapes and texture of the train wheels. What a FUN experience for a little boy. Thanks Jim!
