In the blink of an eye this little guy went from Chubby Cheeks to a big 5 year old.\u00a0 We celebrated his birthday this week with the theme of his choice, TRAINS!\u00a0 For a while there it looked like we were going to be pirates again, then it was construction, and even a mention of police cars… But trains it was, and we went all out and took a little mid-week trip to Pennsylvania to see the trains!<\/p>\n

We stayed in downtown Lancaster at the new Marriott that was just opened this year.\u00a0 This was no ordinary hotel; it was built with preserving history in mind.\u00a0 The hotel stands\u00a0 within the facade of a 110 year old department store… the ornate Watt & Shand.\u00a0 Guests are in for a surprise when they walk in to the lobby, for right inside one will see the back of a historic brick home.\u00a0 The front of the home is outside on the street. Inside the hotel one can also see a water-collection cistern that was unearthed<\/a> and believed to be a part of the Underground Railroad.<\/p>\n

We spent part of the day at the Railroad Museum of PA<\/a>.\u00a0 I never tire of seeing old steam engines and reading about railroad history in America.<\/p>\n

The rest of the afternoon was spent at Cherry Crest Adventure Farm<\/a> where we got lost in a 5 acre corn maze.\u00a0 I’ve never been in a corn maze before, but let me tell you, it’s not easy to find your way out amidst the 10-foot stalks!\u00a0 My husband told the kids not to worry, if we were stuck in there for a few days, we could always eat the corn!<\/p>\n

…the adventure’s not over for my little guy.\u00a0\u00a0 Tomorrow *sniff* he starts his first day of Kindergarten<\/span>.\u00a0 Five years can go by way too fast.<\/p>\n
