The South Carolina Railroad Museum

On Saturday, October 1, 2011, Ray, Isabella, and I drove to Winnsboro, SC, to visit the South Carolina Railroad Museum.  We visited a Gallery with historic pictures and artifacts, then walked through a display train with old fashioned sleeper and dining cars.  Another car contained an area for cargo and a mail counter. On that a day, a specialty train was featured - it was Caboose Day.  We road the coach car, but there were also 3 different types of cabooses that folks could ride in.  We took a leisurely one hour train ride along 5 miles of operating track while the conductor filled us in on the history of the trains and the Winnsboro area.  It was a fun and interesting field trip and a first for all three of us.  Even Ray who is born and raised in South Carolina had never been the SC Railroad Museum.

Isabella is 25 months old - September 21, 2011.

Chef's hat, apron, and glove - the best clearance rack purchase I've ever made.  She loves them!

Our trip to the zoo - September 19, 2011

On September 19, 2011, I was on PTO and joined Jen, Bella, Maleah and Ashlyn on a trip to the zoo.  The weather was beautiful, the animals were active and we had a great time.  We all enjoyed a fun ride on the "train" (it's really the tram, but Bella calls it the train) to the botanical gardens.  Very pretty and lots of fun!
