Yesterday was gloomy so a beach day was out of the question. So instead we decided to go on another road trip. This time we headed southwest to Mariefred to check out the Gripsholm Castle and to go for a ride on the historic steam train. Train enthusiast Ethan was in heaven of course!
The Castle was beautiful and we had a nice walk around but antsy-pantsy Ethan obviously already knew we were going on a choo choo so he kept reminding us that we had to get going. Once we got to the old train station, Ethan made sure we bought tickets and once he had his in his hand, he would not let go. He then proceeded to show off his ticket until the train was ready for departure... and then some more on the train! After 3 years of watching Thomas The Tank Engine and Chuggington; I am sure you can imagine that it was a mighty excited three year old that boarded the 3rd class coach yesterday!
All in all a fab day out with the kids and it is so nice that we are able to do these little outings; especially now that Ethan is getting a bit older and can appreciate it more.

| "Ticket!" |

| "Daddy, ticket!" |

| Needless to say, Ethan was pretty excited! |
