Train Fixation

Finn is absolutely obsessed with trains. Perhaps it can be traced back to his first birthday party. The party was train themed and even had a train cake.

However it happened, he it train-crazy. If things are going poorly, we just have to ask if he wants to go in the train (Metro) and things are better. A great place to see trains is the American History Museum. Of course a major part of our American history is the railroad and there is a great exhibit showing that history.


With the Christms season, there are many more trains around town than in the rest of the year. One of those exhibits was at the Botanical Gardens. A train set runs through a miniature village built of bark and other natural materials.


Another season train was at Union Station. The Norweigian Embassy sponsors a Christmas train set. The scenery is set with mountains, cave, trolls, and even a radar station.


No matter where the train or how big it is, Finn is completely enchanted by them. He has his own trains at home and makes tunnels out of anything for them to go through. All h needs now is a conductor's hat.
