Merry Trainmas

Just like last year, we did lots and lots of train stuff during the holidays. The first stop was the PPG Wintergarden on Thanksgiving. The weekend before Christmas we visited the Hancock.The boys looked at the trains in the basement, ate lunch at the Cheesecake Factory, and then looked at the trains some more. (The best part of that excursion was the awesome parking spot we got less than two blocks away and it only cost $4.) On 12/26, we went to Brookfield Zoo with Grandma and Grandpa and saw the new train display there. The next stop was the Arboretum for their annual display on Jan 2. It is a toss-up between PPG and Hancock for best train display. The PPG has some pretty fantastic ginger bread houses. Hancock is more elaborate and has lots of fun stuff to look for, like Nemo and Spiderman. As if that wasn't enough, we visited both train restaurants in the last month and the boys got a GeoTrax train set for Christmas.
