Philly Phans
So we are taking a quick trip down to Philly this weekend. That is pretty cool. Our first away trip as just TB&I (Tony, Bianca, and Isaac). We are DEFINITELY going to the Academy of Natural Sciences, in part because it is less than a mile away from our hotel (Isaac's first hotel!, time to jump on the bed!) and also in part because of DINOS! We'll probably hit the Philly Zoo, too. Mom has a big science conference, so while she's there, Dad and Isaac will be out and about.
In preparation for the big trip, we have been talking to Isaac about our method of travel--the Acela train. It was basically the same price as a plane ticket and door to door it is probably the same travel time, around four and half hours (there is an Acela stop, again, less than a mile from the hotel). When the train goes by we talk about it. We watched a really cool train video on YouTube (Acela is the fastest passenger train in the US, right now, so I thought the French video was appropriate). Isaac is ready to go.
How do we know? Well at school, Bianca explained that Isaac would be out on Monday and that we were going to Philly. The teachers asked about how we were going and Isaac jumped on the chance to tell them. He raised his little chubby arm and gave them a "Choo! Choo!"
Isaac, get ready.
