This morning, Daddy and I were discussing what we were going to do with Mr. Andrew. There were the ole standby choices of the zoo or kids' museum. But Mommy felt like doing something different so offered up the suggestion of going to the Houston Railroad Museum. We had heard about the one in Galveston being pretty good, but had not heard any reviews of this one in northeast Houston. We were in an adventurous mood so we set off for the museum, which opened at 11am.
Since we hadn't heard anything about this place, we went in with low expectations so we wouldn't be too disappointment. We told ourselves that as long as Andrew kind of liked it, it would be okay. Well, I think it's safe to say that he more than kind of liked it. I don't know how many times he signed "train." A gentleman was providing a guided tour taking a group of us through the train cars, but unfortunately, it was not holding Andrew's interest. We tried to placate him by showing him the pictures of trains, but we ended up taking him outside for a bit to look around and then would rejoin the group. But I think he really enjoyed three things during our visit: (1) the Brio track they had set up in one of the cars; (2) the model HO set they had set up in another car; and (3) being able to see the outside of the trains up close and personal.
We did not see all the cars because it was getting hot and Andrew was getting tired. We stayed for a little over an hour, but for the $12.50 admission we paid, we didn't feel cheated. Andrew seemed to enjoy it for the most part. Daddy would have liked to spend more time reading and learning, but sadly, Andrew didn't. We may just have to come back when Andrew is a little older.
