Erin’s father came down to visit while her mother and sister were in France, in a moment of spontaneity, we decided to go to Strasburg for a little adventure. If you recall, the Strasburg Railway and Train Museum is where Curie kindled her love of trains. While Elia had been here before, this is the first time she could see the trains with wonder, and pointed out a lot of things to us. We actually found Strasburg before we had children, and, even then, we wanted to take Erin’s father.
Thomas comes to Strasburg three times a year apparently and as we were leaving Erin’s father noticed a covered engine in a shed with remarkably familiar colors. You can see it in the picture right above the little Thomas picture. We had to tell Curie that Thomas was asleep; she was so excited.
