Texas Trains

Last weekend we flew to San Antonio to visit Grandma and Grandpa Lyons, Auntie Lisha, Uncle Damon, and Cassie. We visited the Texas Transportation Museum, which is primarily devoted to trains.

There are steam engines, diesel trains, and a some assorted stock cars, flat cars, two cabooses, and two coaches that are decked out in 1920s splendor.




I took this picture in an attempt to record the temperature, which was about 95 degrees. On October 1st.


There were also model trains indoors, similar to the kind my father has. I have a theory that was confirmed on our trip to the Texas Transportation Museum. There are two kinds of people who are obsessed with trains: little boys, and old men. Anyone else at a train museum is there on behalf of a little boy or an old man.


When it was time to go, Grandpa Lyons bought you this engineer hat:
