Kids love real train rides, too

If you live in a metropolitan area, check out the transportation authority's site to see if it has a program for children. My local area's tri-county rail offers kids a free birthday package just for the asking. It comes with a coloring book and a round-trip ticket to ride the train. What kid wouldn't love that?

Yesterday was my son's birthday. I'm not sure when we're going for our train ride -- but he's going to love it!
