If you have kids that are into trains, you really should take a trip to train heaven, Strausburg, PA. We went there during our visit to Hershey (it was an hour from there). Henry LOVES trains, and Owen and Emmett did back in the day. While we were there, a Day out w/ Thomas was going on. We did this in Colorado when Owen was 2, but since going to Strausburg, I've had tons of people tell me that a day out w/ Thomas is not the same unless you do it in Strausburg. That's where Thomas the train is from, you know? (yeah..I didn't either). Anyway, Strausburg is home to the National Train Museum, International Train Museum, and original Thomas store (that sold ANYTHING you could ever want w/ Thomas the Train on it). They also had this really cool store w/ a HUGE elaborate train set in it that you could walk through (for a fee). It was soooo cool. And, the lights even dimmed every 20 minutes or so to mimic night (so you could see what the trains did at night). A video from that store is below. All in all, it was an AWESOME day, and I'm glad we ventured past Hershey park to do something else.
