Catch that train

I've just made our FREE reservations for the National Train Day event at Union Station next Saturday here in Chicago. Live music, interactive exhibits, discussions with actual engineers and conductors, photo ops, historic train cars, cute souvenirs, etc. Should be fun.
My family has a long history in the railroad industry, which, I'm pretty sure has halted with my generation (Dad, correct me if I'm wrong about that), so I feel a little sentimental about trains. I'll be rounding up a few pics of our family with trains for next week. I'm sure you can't wait.
If you're in the Chicago, DC, Philly, or L.A. areas, check out the schedule for your local National Train Day celebration at the website link above. Take the kids or take yourself. Trains are cool.

P.S. Check in Monday bright and early for an invitation to another Chicago event: a gigantic night o' crafts and fun hosted by some crafty bloggers in the area. You'll want to reserve your spot!
