On Saturday, we drove to Nelsonville to ride the Hocking Valley Scenic Railway. The Greens invited us to join them. We had a great day - because we were with the Greens. If I were doing marketing for this Railway company - it would be hard to keep "scenic" in the name. I guess junkyard, chicken coop, and lumber yard are considered "scenic". We joked that it was 3 field trips rolled into one. I didn't think to take pictures of the scenery until it was too late. We were too busy talking, eating chocolate chip scones and taking pictures of our favorite children!
The train stopped at an open field area. The kids got to "hunt" for eggs. Basically the eggs were spread all over the field. Cameron said that the parents near him were scooping up all the eggs. I love parents who forget that things like this are for fun and not a competition. I hope they were happy with their extra bags of sub-par chocolate.
There was a raffle with different prizes. We won a free night at the Holiday Inn Express in Athens. As I was walking back to the train - one of the volunteers saw my basket and said, "wow you won the grand-prize!" I had no idea. I held my head a little higher and thought to myself, "I am a grand-prize winner." : )
