Trains 2021-22

We setup the O gauge trains in the basement this year. This year featured 3 concentric tracks and a new Whitetail display. Julia's critters spent time riding the rails.



Some serious tracks and switching this year



Whitetail featured 4 slopes and a line of cars caused by a proposed security gate


We had a few visitors ... but no train party.

Hiking at Whitetail

During a quick getaway before ski season, we did an early morning hike. With most of the leaves on the ground, visibility was great.

Sara tries to find all 23 trails



The mountain bike trails provided a great walking path. We encountered moss, leaves, and tried out many hiking sticks. Then we found a cliff to climb up.

Veterans' Day Holiday

Sara took the kids to Arlington National Cemetery for Veterans' Day. After finding relatives grave sites, watching a parade, and some photo opportunities they headed down to the Air and Space Museum. A short expedition turned into a 5-6 hour trek.
