Given our kids' love of trains, we decided to take another ride on the Music City Star (you may remember our first ride when Ethan was still a baby). They were all smiles as they eagerly awaited the train.
And then the train arrived in all of its loud, horn-blowing glory...and Kaitlyn did not appreciate that at all. Fortunately the drama eventually subsided and we boarded the train with no further meltdowns.
Ethan is all smiles on his first real train ride (not counting the one I'm sure he doesn't remember when he was only 6 months old).
We timed it so that we had a chance to explore the riverfront before catching the last train out for the evening. Downtown exploration doesn't get much easier. The train pulls right into the heart of the city, you don't have to find or pay for parking, train tickets are cheap (and free for kids), and there's 30 - 45 minutes in between trains--a perfect amount of time to entertain two small children. The kids loved running up and down the hills at Riverfront Park.
Our little nature lover always has to stop and pick the flowers.
We explored the old fort. And then we hopped back on the train for the ride back.
