Steamtown!

One of the real gems of Northeastern PA is the Steamtown National Historic Site. Of course I love the National Park Service because they let their historians carry side arms. But that aside, the place is full of neat old trains, a very hands-on museum, and train rides. We had a really great time checking it all out the other day, particularly the train ride which took the family through our old stomping grounds. We're big fans of "The Office" and always stop to watch the opening credits with the pics of Scranton. It was really cool to show Grace (and Luke) the places that mean so much to us.

It is very, very hard to get a good family picture these days. . .
