Back to Jackson-The Casey Jones Museum

When we used to head to Jackson to visit my grandparents when I was a kid, my absolute favorite place to go besides Grandma and Grandaddy's house was The Old Country Store.  We loved to head up there, shop, look around, and pick out some marbles or candy to take home.  So, when we headed up to Jackson a few weeks ago to visit Grandma Rose, it was the perfect place to take Evan on a mommy-toddler date. 

In the same complex as the Old Country Store is the Casey Jones Museum.  Yes, it has to do with TRAINS!  I knew Evan would love it.  We went in and walked around.  Evan enjoyed looking at all of the trains, and I actually got to learn who Casey Jones is after all those years.  After we walked around the museum we walked out back to the train, similar to the one Casey Jones drove, that was parked out back.  Evan actually got to climb up in the train and ring the bell!  Afterward, we had a great time perusing the gift shop and came home with some great new train gear.  We finished up the outing with a trip over to my favorite, The Old Country Store.  There, we found some chocolate covered peanuts to take home to daddy.  It was a great little outing to top off our wonderful trip to Jackson.

Thanks again for a wonderful visit Great-Grandma Rose!!
