We surprised Jerry with a Steam Train ride for this special day. Darren came along... he was even our chauffeur! The day was threatening rain... but, thank heaven, it never showed it's face...
We had a fun little journey, listening to the Click Clack of the tracks, the choo choo choo of the steam making the wheels go round and the great whistle the as we passed intersections! Add to that, our friend Craig is a volunteer with the Steam Train (ALL the folks there were volunteers) and he was working at the last minute that day. We left from Elbe and arrived at Mineral about 30 minutes later...
A BBQ and Beer was waiting for us (and a the rest of the folks on the train). They had a museum there and Craig joined us for some education on the trains. A fun time!
A funny thing happened on the way to Mineral... A kid dropped his folks cell phone out the side of the train... Oh well... we thought. Well, on the way back... the train started slowing down... seemed weird... then it stopped... in the middle of nowhere... and, yes, you guessed it, they located the phone, stopped and someone got off and picked up the phone... That kid was lucky!!!!
Topped our evening off with a visit to Top of Tacoma... a funky, cool bar up in the McKinley area. Had Nachos and more Beer... and decided... the place deserves more visits!!!!
Happy Father's Day Jerry... We Love You!
