As soon as we pulled into the parking lot we saw a train sitting on the tracks and then realized that he was actually moving along at a snail's pace. We waited for it to go through and then headed into the musuem. This is a very good museum for families as they have some interactive areas for kids (of all ages) and a playroom with toys and train videos. After strolling through the museum we headed out to the train yard to take a look around.
Not to long after we got into the train yard a few more trains came rolling through for us to see. I always find it interesting to see the various graffeti on the train cars. Some will say that it is defacing someone's property, which yes it is, but I like artistic side of it and wish that those that did the defacing had a place where they could do it in a legal way to display their talents.
After awhile we headed to Middlebury, Indiana and Das Dutch Essenhause for an Amish style family dinner. This is very similar to the Bavarian Inn or Zehender's in Frankenmuth (for you Michigan folk). the food was so good and well worth the trip. After we filled our bellies with some seriously delicious and homemade goodness we headed back towards home.
On our way back through Jonesville, Michigan we stopped in to the Udder Side for some soft serve ice cream which I think is hands down the best I've ever had.
Stay tuned as we take on Ohio.

I've never been to "The Udder Side" but I, too, have heard that it's one of the best. So far, I love "The Spotted Cow" in Adrian, MI, the best! I'm glad you enjoyed the NY Central train museum. We enjoyed ourselves when we went and hope to get back soon! Keep up the exciting travels and Godspeed!
Sounds like a fun little adventure! When are you hitting the new Grand Rapids Art Museum or hmm...some other exciting place near us? (o:
I love traveling through you! Thanks.
