New Hope and Ivy Railroad

After Bowman's Tower we went to New Hope to ride the train.  Ryan was thrilled!  There was a lady on board who read a couple books and then played her ukulele for the kids (there were only 2 other kids on the story part of the train).  The story music lady wasn't very impressive, but Ryan liked the train ride and we got to sit in a nice air conditioned train car for the 45 min. ride!  Ryan's favorite part was the lemonade and train crackers that he got for a snack!

Another favorite part of the ride was when we got to watch them unhook the train and bring it around to the other side of the train when it was time to reverse direction and head back to the station.
