I took the day off work yesterday and we all went to the Northwest Railway Museum down in Snoqualmie. We figured Jonathan would love it, and we were correct!
While Jonathan really seemed to thoroughly enjoy looking at the trains and walking the tracks, I'm pretty sure the hit of the day was the gift shop. I (naively) assumed it would be a shop with lots of generic train stuff and some Thomas stuff. It was, in fact, a Thomas store with some generic train stuff.
They had Thomas trains (of various sizes), shirts, books, CDs, DVDs, - you name it - they had it. Jonathan was beside himself: he didn't know where to start.
And of course, when you bring a toddler into a store sporting his favorite toys, you can't leave without buying something. Or some things. Among other things, we bought tickets to A Day Out With Thomas later this summer. The saleslady working the desk informed us that on that day, there will be *lots* more Thomas merchandise on hand - much more than than they normally carry. >sigh< Much money will probably be spent on that day...
