Good everyone's enjoying the day.
Today we checked out a BBQ restaurant about 15min from here. Pulled pork was decent. Yesterday we stopped at the Valley Railroad in Essex Connecticut for a quick train ride. This is where I ran the steam locomotive about three years ago. The locomotive I ran was in the shop being converted to oil firing. Much older locomotive pulled the train. The kids and I also got a quick cab tour.

Coupling onto the rear for the return trip.
