The Red Caboose

This is where we slept in Pennsylvania, in a real caboose! The rooms weren't fancy, but the experience was worth it. Will has said several times that he wants to go back to "the caboose". They had a big playscape and lots of room to run around outside. We also got to watch Toy Story (projected on the barn) outside one night.

This was in front of the restaurant where we had an awesome dinner one night. It was a huge buffet where everything was super fresh and homemade -- all six kids loved the variety and getting to pick out all their food, and especially the desserts.


Posing together.

The Strasburg rail road runs right by the Red Caboose. We could step out of our room and watch Thomas go by. Will was excited to see this "W" sign by the tracks.

Of course Aubrey was thrilled to see that were was a barn and lots of animals on the grounds. They fed some goats and chickens, but the horses were the favorite.


Lancaster county is a big Amish area -- we could also watch lots of horses & buggies go by from our caboose.

Playing outside of our room, corn field behind them.

This was the caboose we stayed in. The kids loved sleeping in bunk beds and on the way home Will asked, "Have you ordered the bunk beds yet?"

Breakfast in the dining car before we went to see Thomas.

We really had such a great weekend with our neighbors in PA. The kids loved having some friends there... we also went back to Dutch Wonderland (an amusement park) the next day, which was also big fun for Aubrey & Will. Next up, we're packing for an 8 hour drive to Myrtle Beach later this week!
