A Day Out With Thomas 2008!

Last Sunday November 9, 2008, Matthew had a dream fulfilled! He got to ride Thomas the Train and meet Sir Topham Hatt. This of course meant driving for 2 hours to the Orange Empire Railway Museum in Perris CA but he was with his best friend so it was a fun drive.

The pictures show them waiting for Thomas with the Conducter, standing in front of the train after their 15 minute ride, getting a tattoo, breaking a piece off the play caboose, standing in front of one of the museum exhibits, inside a very old downtown LA trolley car and in front of the main sign as you are leaving. Matthew was pooped and skinned his knee twice, hence the defeated look on his face. He had a wonderful time and played for 5 hours with his best friend surrounded by trains. What a day!
