I'd venture to say if there is any kid, anywhere who would enjoy a Day Out With Thomas, it's Andrew. This is an annual event held at many places throughout the US, so our biggest challenge was picking the perfect place. The closest place would have been Dillsboro, which is a place I'd visit anytime, for any reason. But not in July. Then we considered Chattanooga. I can't remember exactly why we passed on that, but I imagine it had something to do with William's work schedule. But when we saw Thomas would be in Spencer (NC) the weekend after we returned from the beach, in the cooler month of October (did you know I'm not a fan of the outdoors?), we planned for that.
So last Sunday, we headed to Spencer and spent a lovely day out with Thomas. The weather was great. The kids were very well-behaved. It was a very nice day. Andrew played in the Thomas inflatable, played a little golf, got a tattoo, wrote with sidewalk chalk, played with Mega Blocks, met Sir Topham Hatt, and participated in several other Thomas-related activities. He had a great time.
But the biggest event of the day, of course, was when we rode the train led by Thomas himself.
