Scott needed to go the Gold Spike National Historical site for extra credit for his History class so we tagged along. I forgot that I had been there as a kid. It was fun to take pictures on the tracks (literally).
The kids were amazed that this was the exact spot were the Central Pacific and Union Pacific Railroads met back in the mid 1800's.
Everyone especially enjoyed learning about the two steam engines that made history, the Jupiter and the 119. These are working replicas that they take out a few times a year for tourists (not the time that we went however).
Yay for nice people so I could be in the picture too;)
