Blue Ridge Scenic Railway

Aidan LOVES trains, so we took the boys on the Blue Ridge Scenic Railway in north Georgia on Friday, October 28, 2011.  It was a lot of fun!  We left from Blue Ridge, Georgia and rode the train for about 45 minutes to McCaysville, Georgia...right on the border of Tennessee.  It was freezing that day and a little rainy, but the boys loved it!
 Aidan is so excited to be on a "real live" train
 Brothers all cozy...

 Waving bye-bye




 We crossed over the Toccoa River, which was really beautiful

 The colors this time of year are so pretty!

 Aidan & Roman loved when we could see the whole train

Once we stopped in McCaysville, we had an hour to look & shop around.  We ate at this cute little diner that had a 50s theme.  And you can't go wrong with cheeseburgers, fries & ketchup :)

 Hello Mini Josh
 Roman liked when we went over bridges

 He's so cute!  He's discovered that he loves putting his hand in his pockets.

 Such a great experience!  The boys loved it and for the most part did great on the train (there were those moments when you're thinking, "you're totally freaking out and we're on a train in the middle of nowhere...this is awesome"), but all in all it was a lot of fun!  Aidan & Roman really LOVED riding on a real train :)
