Day One in Galveston started at the Railroad Museum. What a wonderful step back in time!
After entering the museum, you wind through artifacts from the dining cars of old.
I especially liked this Native American inspired theme on the Santa Fe. The Turquoise…
As an Austinite who lived off Loop-1 MoPac Expressway, I couldn’t resist this map.
You then wind through miniature trains — flashback to my childhood. My dad brought home a Lionel train set when I was eight.
We then made our way to the station. Mr. Hero, Nana, and I loved these plaster statues. Sonny-Bunny found them a little disconcerting…
My kids were clearly at a loss for what to do with these…
Remember, when AT & T meant American Telephone and Telegraph?
Then we headed out to the trains. There are five full tracks loaded with engines, cars and cabooses from many different eras.
All aboard!
The kids were fully engaged the whole time. We had a great time and learned a lot, too. Double win!

I cannot thank the museum enough for offering admission to military. When traveling the country and attending museums, every little penny counts. We love places that support our military!
