Thanksgiving

Driving trucks on a coffe table is aways big fun

                                            Do you want to trade places with me?

                                            Backing a train down the tracks

                     The train comes to a sudden and unexpected stop to check out a football play.

All done but the dishes

Seems Auntie M will do anything to get out of doing dishes.

Just kidding.  Everything was great !

                                           Hey, this wishbone is slipperly.  Let's try again.

                         The winner!                                                                          The good sport.

Later that night

This train set from the neighbor's yard sale is still a hit.

                                             Saying hi to Auntie Sue Sue and Uncle Doug

Hagerstown, MD

It was George Washington's vision to build a canal from DC, to Pittsburgh, and into Ohio, thus the name for the C&O canal.  It was never completed and thanks to trains, the canal became obsolete well before it made it out of Maryland.

A moment to reflect

The building is now, much to my surprise, a gift shop.

   hey, nice shot Nana.  I would be even more impressed with the shot if you knew how you did it.

                                                 I guess that Nana, and not I ......

                                               Win the Ansel Adams award.

Who would pay for this

I am not sure how the canal would ever pay for itself, but it was impressive.

In just about a 10 minute walk, the barge would go over a river

 Under a train track.  The elevator would lift the track.

                                          Get past the duck gang

                                         And go through lock 44 (one of over 80)

We both

attempt some artsy shots before we leave.
