trains and celebrity sighting

Yesterday we took the underground (Metro) into the city. Cameron and Jamie have been so excited about going on the Metro because it was their first time on an underground train.

Here is Jamie on the train. At first it goes above ground for about 3 stops.

The boys loved seeing the cars drive beside the train - here is Cameron. Granny Tina and I took them to see Union Station and the model train exhibit. Union Station has a Christmas tree from Norway and a model train exhibit that is meant to be the Norwegian countryside. To be fair, I think we've over done model trains this holiday season! The boys thought it was interesting but they were also very interested in a cup of hot chocolate and a cookie. Here is Granny Tina with Cameron and Jamie checking out the model trains.


Since Inauguration time is fast approaching it is not surprising that President-Elect Barak Obama was wandering around Union Station speaking to the public and posing for photos. Granny Tina and the boys got in on the act.
