The Grandparents Woglom

Grandpa Eric and Grandma Jan are in from New York and Christopher (and his parents... and Kasey) are super excited! We went to a lovely dinner downtown last night at Blue Bird Bistro (yum!) and then spent this morning at Union Station at the KC Rail Experience. The first highlight of the morning for CJ was going down and then back up the escalator. Here he is with his grandparents...
They have a fantastic model railway setup at Union Station and Christopher could have looked at it all day! Here is a small portion of it:
Part of the "experience" is a full-size model of a BNSF locomotive that visitors can go in and pretend they are driving. Christopher and Daddy fully enjoyed this part of the day!
We also got to check out the interior of an old caboose and stood on the back platform of an old train car. Christopher was practicing his campaign speech here with Mommy's help. I guess he'll have to wait until he's tall enough to see over the edge to run for office!
We had a wonderful morning topped off with a delicious lunch at Eden Alley Cafe. We are looking forward to the rest of our visit!
