Lately my posts feel like they’re more informative than creative or interesting. I put a lot of thought into my writing and the topics I choose to discuss here, but when you’re on vacation – as odd as it seems – it’s hard to find the time to sit down and think up an awesome blog. Not to worry, I have some clever ideas up my sleeve for use in January. I’ll be honest – I’m lazy this week and it’s just plain simpler to recount my day, attach a couple pics, and call it done. I could just not write (and occasionally, for any number of good reasons, I won’t) but I don’t like to get into the habit of not writing if I can avoid it. So, in short, here’s another recap of how we spent our day.
We got a bit of a late start – opting for a late snooze and waffles before braving the frigid wind chills. Green Bay is home to the National Railroad Museum. As a child, Ted loved trains and always enjoyed trips to the NRM. We visited the model train exhibit at the Natural History Museum in Cincy a few weeks ago and decided to hit up a tour of the NRM while we were in Wisconsin for Christmas. We saw everything from informational videos to photographs of locomotive wreaks to the tools used to build the railroads to real retired trains and their insides, including the Big Boy, Dwight Eisenhower, and Aerotrain.
We also found time to stroll through a forest of decorated Christmas trees on display and play a bit in the snow. I had grand plans of adding plenty more photos to this post, but wordpress is a butt and a completely not user-friendly program, meaning it won’t allow me to insert two separate photo galleries – at least not in a way the average person can easily figure out how to do. Fail. So there will be a continuation posted soon.
