Tyndale looooves the train. He always hears the train whistle when it goes through town and he always notices when we drive over railroad tracks anywhere in town. I had been promising him all summer that one day we would go for a ride on the train...and we did! Here we are waiting to meet our train, The City of New Orleans. Brookhaven just opened it's new transportation center and the building is so cool! Here is Quinn by the ticket booth.
Here we are waiting by the tracks...Tyndale is sporting his infamous "cheese" face. Contrary to the way it looks, he is actually having fun.
And here we are on the train at last! It was so fun for them to see the sights of Brookhaven whizzing past. The conductor who punched our tickets (this was a big deal for T!) took us down to the lounge car...the windows in there go from the floor to the ceiling, so the view is really great! Plus they gave them train badges and a bunch of coloring books.
After just a few more minutes, we reached our destination...McComb. We spent some time checking out this retired train, especially the caboose. Daddy picked us up at the train station there and then we went to eat lunch at the Dinner Bell. What a fun day!

I love that y'all took a train trip just down the street - I am sure T had a great time!
