Will Loves Trains

Will walks along the boardwalk at Mason Neck, Jan. 3, 2009

After Christmas, Grammy flew back to Washington with mom and me. The trip back was much smoother than going down and Grammy made it even better by producing a brand new train from her coat pocket…Spencer! He is a very special engine. And I’m happy to report that he’s been part of my railway for more than six weeks and hasn’t been left in a car or at anyone’s house or in Aunt Catherine’s purse once. This might be a record. It was pretty cold outside while Grammy was visiting, but we still managed to get outside and have some fun. One day we drove down to Mason Neck State Park, which is a peninsula on the Potomac River near Pohick Bay. We didn’t find any of the area’s Bald Eagles, but we did find a cold playground and some frozen marshes.
