Little history, at one point the town had a flood, you can see where the level marker is. There was a sudden rain blast 10 miles north of town. The burst caused the water to take out two bridges and the dam, flooding the whole town.
The town has an annual Ox Roast every Labor Day. That's right, I said, ox. We tried the well seasoned sandwich and my iron count is now up. Just hanging out after lunch listening to old bluegrass bands in the park.
They had old fashioned cars to peek at. Don't you just want to own one of these for Sunday drives? I think it sounds fantastic.
Micah checking out her lipstick and rouge.
The also had model trains which is something that Mat has always wanted to do. Note: Train guys are really into their trains and they want you to be into them too. They spent a lot of quality time telling us how to get into it. It was not painful (minus the chocolate chip cookie I could have used midway through our tour) and fun to learn about.
One train conductor was very smart and let the kids play with his Lego train.
They were ecstatic and most importantly completely engrossed and not touching the big dawg trains!
Reporting from Rowlesburg, out.
