My now-retired dad (physics professor) and uncle (engineer) are also train-obsessed. The Transportation Museum is their nirvana.<br /><br />So my dad and uncle now take my nephew to the train museum, train show, award ceremony for some train-related patent that my dad developed in Zurich and anyplace else train-related.<br /><br />It's awesome -- Nephew prefers to talk trains with his grandpa and grand uncle. Dad prefers to talk trains with Nephew.<br /><br />My mom, my sister (nephew's mom) and I are spared ALL TRAIN TALK. It's delightful!<br /><br />Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14075630681598355493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-401303964563152307.post-75499548245517810222015-03-23T15:16:08.030-04:002015-03-23T15:16:08.030-04:00Me too.
