We went downtown  to see the 1940s steam engine that was coming into town. It was a slushy, rainy day so there was a ton of traffic and we missed it by 5 minutes!  So we had a little discussion. Should we drive all the way to Ogden to chase it down?<\/p>\n

Well, we probably shouldn’t have, because it ended up taking up our whole day, but it is always fun to have an adventure. So we had a train adventure, the hubs and I.<\/p>\n
