Our Vacation...part 2!

Vacation Day 2 brought us to the North Shore Railroad, a train that travels along the shores of Lake Superior on a site seeing adventure. There are many tours to choose from, and we chose a 90 minute excursion that took us to Lester River, and back. The air conditioned cars were wonderful. Here, Brendan shows off his new dorky grin he does when we ask him to smile (he's sitting in the air conditioned car waiting for the train to leave the station)...


The train also features a large open-air car, where we spent most of the ride...

Friday night we had dinner at Holly and Steve's house with family and friends. Brendan was fascinated by Steve's State Patrol squad car. Steve made his day by allowing him to get into the car, push a few buttons, talk through the megaphone, turn on the lights and blare the siren!

Since we didn't have time to tour the train museum (where the North Shore Railroad boards) on Friday, we went there on Saturday morning. They have TONS of actual trains there for viewing. Some of which you can climb up into! Here Brendan is stading inside a locomotive...
And, here he is looking out the window of the same locomotive (sorry the picture is so dark!)...


His excitement over the day is plain to see!

Next to the Depot is a Children's Museum, so we spent a little time there, as well...

Next up: Colin's wedding (8/12)!
