I don’t know if there’s a bigger Thomas the Train Fan than my munchkin, Bradley.  My sister and I didn’t tell him or his sister where we were taking them, just that it would be a really big surprise!

The Day out with Thomas was at the Train museum down in Miami and we were able to ride the little train from the parking lot up to the museum.

Brad was super excited (so was Kelsey)!

They had more than just Thomas. There were games, activity centers, food, shows, and bounce houses.

They had so much fun, but the highlight had to be riding Thomas the Train! Yes, we were actually able to take a ride. The kids chose the upper deck to sit on and loved looking out the window at what was passing by.  All the workers were great! They took the time to answer any questions that the kids had and were very friendly.  Brad and Kels even got their Jr Engineer Certificate from Thomas!

We had a fabulous day! We can’t wait to see Thomas next year!

Now a days everyone is talking about “going green” and I while I do think it’s a fabulous idea, what all is involved?  Not using disposable plates, silverware, etc is one way.  You are not wasting resources.  If you have to use disposable, make sure it can be recycled.  I use reusable containers in my lunch box for work so that I do not have to use plastic bags.  I also use grocery totes so I don’t need to use plastic bags.  Thankfully my grocery store does have a recycle bin for old plastic bags.

What about diapers?  You can use cloth diapers rather than store bought.  Then you have to think about washing them.  What about your detergent?  Some companies are trying to make “greener” and more natural detergents and bottles.  Speaking of detergents and soaps, what about things like dishwasher fluid, or cleaners or even all natural carpet cleaning.

I am all for natural and going green, I just can’t get overwhelmed with all of the different options.  I need to start in one area at a time and go from there.  Every little bit helps and if we all started in a minimum of one area of our life it could make a huge difference.

What are some of your favorite “green” tips?  Let me know in the comment section.  I’d love to share ideas.
