We first went to Cass, WV with our friends Tim Ed, Joe, and Angela a few years ago - okay, more than a few since it was before I had Grayson. But we really enjoyed the train ride up the mountain and the beautiful scenery. We've since been once with the boys last year for Memorial Day and then went again this past week as part of our little mini-vacation. Grayson absolutely LOVED it this time. He's really that perfect age for enjoying something like this...just enough of an adventure. He wanted to know everything about the trains and how they worked and where the smoke came from and why they need coal and, and, and, and. You get the idea. It was fun to watch how excited he was. Luke - not so much. And since trains are really one of the few things Luke has expressed interest in, I was a little surprised. But, like a year and a half ago, Luke was just content to sit on my lap.
Luke's favorite seat:
Steve let Grayson stand on the cooler to look out the window. He stood there the entire ride except when the whistle would blow at which point he would come cling to be for about 5 seconds then return to his lookout on the cooler.

He liked seeing where the train workers used to stay.
Wow - he almost couldn't control himself. A crane ON a train!
One super happy kid! A week later he's still saying, "Mom, I really liked riding that train."
