Trip to near city, Ogden

So we went to Ogden for a short small family road trip.

Ogden is about one hour drive to North on I-15 from Salt Lake City.

It is an old rail road town in UT. Now days, well, let's say, people do not go there to have a vacation....

So where we went? We went to visit a train museum. Here is the web site.http://www.theunionstation.org/

They have a train museum, automotive museum and gun museum inside of the Union Station.

For little H, this is the first experience to go to a museum. What does he think about.... ?
"Hunnn, where am I?"

Inside, something to read....
Little H is weighed and ready to go on a train trip?Auto museum part is like this...We found the old gas meter!!!! It is kinda cool. At gas station, a worker actually pumps the gas to fill the top part of the tank (glass part with numbers), then drain the gas till you fill the tank. So these numbers inside of the glass tank tells how much you put the gas into your car. Cool, and clever, yea?

We saw 1903 car... the motor is in back. It looks like a horse carriage. Yes, we are talking with an old gentleman who is volunteer at the auto museum and he shared a story about his first car. It was before WWII. Wow! That is a history! "Yes, mom, I am listening.. (by little H)" Inside of Union Station..."I love to copy what my dady does!"cool ceiling

So we had a good President day short samll trip! Of, I cannot forget to write about a food. We had a good Southern Food at SLC. Fried chicken, BBQ Rib, Collard Green, Black-eyed peas, coleslaw, potato salad and the last but not the least, peach cobbler!!! Yes. Sorry, folks, I do not have pictures. But they were tasty. Trust me.
