NYC Transit Museum Part 2

The kids were mesmerized. Story time in a train! and what a story, will little Lori ever get to Times Square?...


All abooard...whose turn is it to drive the bus?

There was also an exhibition of old toys, very cool. Modes of transportation are always a big hit. Out home is filled with planes, trains and automobiles, here were a few boats as well.




All the kids got to take turns sitting here and being engineer and taking the train where ever they wanted to go.
No one wanted to give up the hot seat!


Here's their wonderful head teacher Barbara, showing where the term "straphanger" came from. These old seats are woven straw. No one wanted to leave these old trains or the train station museum. We'll be back next time...
