It's always so fun to see LEGO trains zooming around the tracks! We got to watch quite a few of them at Seattle BrickCon 2014. Check out the photos and our fun LEGO train video for kids for some great building inspiration. ...
Our Play Date at the Seattle Monorail
We had been inside the Seattle Monorail's Red Train for five or ten minutes already when it seemed to sink in for the Little Engineer. He picked up his best buddy, Meekat, from where the he had been sitting next to Monorail Bunny on a seat and lifted the meerkat above his head, beaming upward in ...

The Pacific Science Center’s 39th Annual Model Railroad Show

We attended the TNW Model Railroad Show and Swap Meet at Freighthouse Square in Tacoma, Washington, on May 19th. And by "we," I mean the Little Engineer, his parents, his aunt, all four of his grandparents, and his great grandma. Never let it be said that he isn't well-supported in his train ...
The 2012 Pacific Science Center Model Railroad Show
We went to the 38th Annual Model Railroad Show on the last day it was at the Pacific Science Center this year, January 16th. The day after this year's big snow storm. Fortunately, we were able to ride a train there, and it was well worth braving the cold weather. This is a wonderful train show ...
Mockingbird Books – Train Tables in Seattle
One day, when we had nothing better to do, the Little Engineer and I decided to find a new train table to go play at. Our living room floor may be covered in track, but a train table at a bookstore or toy store has its own special magic. Even when it's the same standardized layout, over and ...
Hi, I'm Jessica! While playing trains for the last several years, my Little Engineer and I have had a lot of fun and learned so much together. I'm excited to share our discoveries with other people who have kids who love trains in their lives.
