We had a fantastic time at 'A day out with Thomas 2010'. It was everything I thought it would be and more. The best part was watching B's face light up the moment he walked through the gates. He sincerely believes that we were on Sodor Island with Thomas and all his friends. We went aboard Thomas, as he puffed along for about a half hour. We met Sir Topham Hatt (but B wouldn't get to close, I don't blame him - mascots can be a bit freaky). The location was the West Coast Railway Heritage Park, in Squamish, B.C. I've never been there before. What a treat. There are a group of volunteer engineers who have built little locomotives and tracks. The tracks weave around rock gardens, and in those gardens are even more-miniature trains complete with tunnels and bridges. We'll be back soon.
