B & O Railroad museum

After our busy June, and spending most of July around the house, August was time to get out again.  We headed to the B&O railroad museum in Baltimore.  It was a great museum for kids. They had a special toddler area, perfect for Scout and Munchkin.  There were also lots of trains to walk around and displays for the big kids. There was even a roundhouse like on Thomas, so the kids loved to see that.  There was a scavenger hunt that had Princess running all over the museum looking at signs and actually reading about trains used in war and for carrying freight. I was surprised to see a display on railroad china and the caboose the kids loved to climb in.

They all loved it, though don't go on a super hot day as most of the museum is not air conditioned.  Scout found his voice in the roundhouse... it echoed, and I had to get a picture since he seemed so proud of his screaming.
 
Scout also started walking at the end of July, but got much better in August. I finally got a good video of him walking.
