From Roads To Rails

 The AACA Museum 

we visited in Hershey, Pa. also had a permanent interactive train exhibit.

This train is always on display and is included with general admission to the museum. 

It features several trains riding through town passing an 

Amusement Park, Large Farm with a Barn, Ford Motors, An Industrial Area, 

A Freight Station, Playground, A Service Station, A Fire Station, Sawmill, Lumber Yard and 

The trains also passed by a 

Construction Site, Down Shops, A Drive In Theater, and A Coca-cola Billboard

I happen to be a lover of trains, but you did not have to be to enjoy this miniature display.

After leaving the museum, we were headed home. 

We stopped for gas and got to see a Hershey Park Firetruck in action...

 it was decorated on all sides and was an exciting, unexpected sight.

Let's Go On A Picnic

Last Thursday the sun was out, the sky was blue, it was 75 degrees outside with a light beautiful breeze.

It was the perfect day for a picnic.

After getting sandwiches at Panera Bread we headed to  

The Manasquan Reservoir

to enjoy our sandwiches and the weather at a picnic table with a view of the reservoir.

Bacon Turkey Bravo

- Turkey, Bacon, Lettuce, Tomato, Gouda Cheese, a Signature Sauce on Tomato Basil Bread -

This sandwich is so good.

We need a tablecloth for our picnics.

We stayed for several hours after we finished lunch.

I brought my coloring book and colored pencils and colored for some of the time.

I really needed this and was so happy to have spent the time outdoors.

I purchased a red and white checked tablecloth from Amazon for our next picnic.

It already came.

Here are a few pictures of the reservoir...

What a day!!
