Train ride with Samuel

Samuel goes back to college at the end of the week, so we decided to go on an adventure today.

We wanted to go to the model train exhibit at Bronx Botanical Garden but the tickets were sold out, so we settled for the free holiday model train exhibit at Grand Central.

It was a fun 10-minute diversion, but not enough to make a full adventure. So we looked at the Metro North train schedule monitor and saw that there was a train to Stamford leaving in 4 minutes.

We said, "Let's go!"

It was already 3:45 and we hadn't had lunch--or notified Ethan or Jo that we were going on a train trip--so we looked for places we might get off prior to Stamford.

We settled on Mamaroneck.

There was a Smashburger a block from the train station.

Thumbs up for Mamaroneck, then the 5 PM train back to Manhattan.
