Last Saturday we met the Kylander family up in Georgetown (45min drive from Denver) to ride the train! The historical train travels up from Georgetown to Silver Plume and back again. The kids were just about as excited as the adults were! The train arrived and they moved the engine to the other end of the train for the ride up. We sat in an open cattle car and authentic soot rained down on us! It was a beautiful overcast day (not too hot) and the surrounding mountain side is so peaceful. At the Silver Plume station, we waited while some people got off and they moved the engine to the other end for the trip back. We came to the front and watched the conductor hook up the engine. We decided to sit in the front car which seemed like a good idea at the time, but as soon as the train took off, we realized our mistake...the train "whistle" was so loud the kids had to put their hands over their ears...Owen hid behind Josh! We walked around the little downtown, notice the sign on an old jail, and found a place to have lunch. What a fun day! Happy Birthday Josh!
