All Aboard....

Sometimes, the best plans are those that come together on a spur of the moment. Case in point, yesterday afternoon, Steve and I decided to take the kids out to dinner via the Tri Rail train. The train station is only about 2 miles from our house, so we threw on our shoes, I grabbed my camera bag, and we ran to catch the 5:19pm train.





My little guy is enamored by everything trains these days and will drop everything when he hears the whistle or sees one go by. He was beyond excited to see one up close and actually get the opportunity to hitch a ride.





He even went to thank the conductor.





And for as much as I complain, at times, about living in South FL there really are some amazing things to do and places to go. I just have to remind myself to think outside of the box. I mean, how cool is it to take a train to dinner, ride the trolley to get ice cream and dance the evening away to a live band while warm, salty breezes rustle the branches of palm trees above? It totally rocks, my friends...













And I have decided that I want to be just like this lady when I am her age. She was out there, all alone, dancing and salsa-ing her little heart out, without a care in the world.



And this little one was no different. However, she mananged it with a half-eaten ice cream cream cone, dripping down her arm. Talent, my friends.



Wishing you all a fabulous weekend. Get out there, step outside the box, and step on the train of life. I promise you a very exciting ride. Happy weekend, my friends....
