planes, trains, and automobiles

Noah has an obession with things that go. It doesn't matter what things that go. He's not partial. He loves cars, trucks, planes, trains, tractors, buses, backhoes, etc. He even talks a lot about different types of certain forms of transportation. He'll identify city buses versus school buses. He amazingly knows the difference between different types of construction machinery. Something I don't have a clue about. I just take his word for it. They'd all be called dump trucks if it were up to me.

Because of this deep appreciation for things that go, Clay decided to take Noah on a little trip. Today they drove in the car to the train station in downtown Fort Worth, got on the train and rode it to the train station in Dallas. Then they got on a shuttle bus that took them to the airport. They watched planes fly in and walked around a bit. Finally they took all the steps back to return home. Clay said Noah was quiet most of the time, just taking it all in. He's been talking about their great adventure all day. What a fun (and thrifty!) outing for a dad and his son.
