Mother's Day on the train

We spent Mother's Day on the Mountain Thunder train...a trip that goes from Cumberland, Maryland to Frostburg, Maryland. This was a lot of fun!

Here are Ben and Danny waiting to board:

Here's the train waiting to leave (those of you who know me well, just know that in my mind, I was at Platform 9 3/4 ready to go to Hogwarts):

Danny and Suenamaw:


There was an open car where you could stand and take pictures and look out the open window:

Closer-up view with the beautiful mountains in the background:


Ben, Daddy and Danny at Frostburg (this began Danny's difficult hour or so where he was first put-off by the noise of the engine and then was mad and indignant about EVERYTHING else):


The engine pulls onto a turnstile and they turn it around for the return trip:


Back on the train after lunch...headed back to Cumberland:
