Today, the children next door didn't wake us up until 8:40. We got ready, ate our breakfast and then headed out to tour the town of York. First on our list was the National Railway Museum (http://www.nrm.org.uk/). We spent a lot of time there!
The museum is trying to fund an effort to restore the Flying Scotsman to running status: http://www.flyingscotsman.org.uk/
We think this is a really worthy cause and if you have a bit of spare coin, please join us in helping them. Thomas would be proud of you!
We got there at about 10:30, and left around 1:00, and got tickets for the hop on, hop off, double decker tour bus.
We rode around the city one time and about a half, and jumped off. We walked back to the National Railway Museum, because we wanted to go to their little eating with the trains cafe, called the Queen Victoria. We had two pots of tea, bacon and lettuce baguette, and a fruit scone. It was very very good!
To get out of the car park, we need to pay 7 pounds in coins. Not seven pounds of coins, but seven 1 pound coins!
Mom is getting really good at driving, no roundabout errors, and it was rush hour traffic in the middle of York! Next stop, Monks Cross and the Asda Supercenter! We found a couple of products worthy of photographing.
Back to the hotel. Mom is going to see Mrs. Kay at dialysis tonight.
Oh boy...canned hot dogs, yummmm!
