At the Park

Today we spontaneously gathered with some friends for a slightly chilly but delightful picnic in Olde Towne Gaithersburg. The kids especially enjoyed romping around the playground together. This is one of our favorite places to hang out. You'll guess why when I mention that before we left we had seen FIVE trains go by! We saw two while we were with the McMillens and Fedelis, and then we took a quick detour to the little museum before we went home. While we were there, a freight train went by. As we were leaving, we caught Amtrak on its way to D.C. Then after we got back to our car, I realized I had left the diaper bag in the museum, and on our way back to get it, guess what? You guessed it! We had to stop and watch another long freight train go by before we could cross the tracks again. Can't imagine why Joshua said "Ooh!! Olde Towne!!" when I told him where we were going! Friends, food, fun, and freight - does life get any better?
