Trains and Automobiles

This weekend, our oldest child ditched us to go camping, so we decided on an adventure with our younger 2. Around 930am we packed up the Journey for a Hines Family Journey to the Sacramento Railroad Museum. 
We started by making sure we had snacks for everyone, changes of clothes, water and anything else we may need for the about 2 hour drive to the "shoo shoo shrains."
It first started with screams and cracker throwing, then cozy and Sully slaps and ended with J slapping his brother in the faces with his stuffed dog. This was 20 min into the drive...oh Lord what are we doing?!?
There is something about 2 little brothers sitting within arms reach of each other in the car. There bodies seem to explode and they lose their minds! Eventually we decided that they needed to sit behind each other, not next to each other, if we wanted the screams of cracker delight to subside. 
So about 2.5 hours later, we pulled into the parking garage and were ready for some "shoo-shoo's!"
It's amazing the fascination boys have with trains, especially H. He wanted to see every single display and picture and train there was to see. It almost made the  2 hours of screaming in the car worth it, to see his eyes light up and a huge smile form on his face. 
H loves trains, trucks and planes. He loves to see and ride just about everything except the cars we have, go figure!
He also loves "Taxis," which are actually police cars. Not sure what happened there...
Our weekend was filled with driving around in our automobile, trains, 2 giggling boys and lots if memories.
It's 8:48am
