Vacation 2017

Kinney Family Vacation 2017

 

 

This summer we went on a family vacation that everyone will remember. We went somewhere that we have been talking about for years. Especially for our train loving son. He may be 11 year old, but his love for trains hasn't faded.

 

 

This year we decided to take a week vacation to Pennsylvania. And we invited Grandma and Grandpa to go along. This was an amazing vacation. We headed to Altoona, PA first. This has an amazing place called 'Horseshoe Curve'. This is the crossing point for the train line and you will see so many trains go thru in just an hour. I think we saw 15 trains in the time that we were there. Lots of people there just sitting there and watching. We stayed for about an hour and a half, but it was really loud for Makayla. The brakes on the train are very loud going around the curve, but we had to watch them for awhile. We would totally go back.

 

 

 

After seeing the Curves, we headed to the Poconos. There we went to Kalahari Resort and stayed there for 3 nights. Now you see, we love Kalahari and love just going and not leaving. This is something that we did again. We didn't leave until it was time to check out. This was an amazing time for all of us. Grandma and Grandpa had a blast with their grandkids and the kids had a blast as well. Makayla loves the water and Donny loves the lazy river. Lots of water these three days, but we wouldn't change it for the world.

 

 

 

 

 

After Kalahari, we headed into Ohio and went to EnterTrainmet Junction. This is the second time that we have been there and yes, we will go back. This place is just full of model trains. Takes a few hours to go thru and even has a place for younger kids. Makayla got to play on the toys and even got to ride on a Thomas train. She had a big smile on her face the whole time. And she talked about it for weeks after.

 

 

 

This was truly a vacation we will never forget. So happy that we took this trip and cannot wait to go back.
