Hall of mirrors

This blog is a mixture of our travel adventures and our new family adventures.
The title comes from a dumb blonde high school girl on a tour with us in Versailles who asked this question in every single room of the Palace.
The picture was taken while on our Honeymoon in China, on the Xian river.

The greatest train place EVER!

Ares' second Christmas with the Millers

Ares finally got a mitt to fit his right hand.  Left handed pitcher, here we come!

He figured out he can control his new remote car with one hand.  He was getting tired (or, perhaps he was bored with the gift.)

This is at the entrance of EnterTRAINment Junction in Western Hills.  this was by far, the coolest place we've taken Ares.  Just look at the following pictures...

There were so many trains at this place.  There was always a train passing by, and at one time, we were able to see 12 trains passing by.  there were buttons the kids could push to make train sounds, music, or lights go on and off.  It was so awesome!

Plus, they had an entire play area for kids.  Here, the kids could run around in a train, the engine area even had "coal" that kids could shovel into the "fire". 

This is inside the play area.  Ares is still a wuss and won't go through anything without us, and still won't go in to some things with us.

The trains started at the beginning of trains, went to the wars, the decades, and ended with current day trains and subways. 

The place was HUGE!  we were given a little scavenger hunt when we first got there, so it took about two hours or so to just look at the trains and landscapes.  We found everything except the 10 dinosaurs.  (Those were hidden in the hills and mountains, we found 4)

There were 4 or 5 of these tables without the train exhibit and gift shops for the kids to play with.  I was amazed at how awesome  this place was, and we'll definitely take him back.  Feb and August they change the ENTIRE exhibit to be Thomas everything.  That would be interesting to see!
