Dinner on the Essex Dinner Steam Train

Finally saved up enough money to take everyone on the Essex Dinner Steam Train! Jerry and I have been on the Dinner Train twice before. But I really wanted to take the Stacy, Justin, Kaela and Jimmy. So the money I had been saving from quitting smoking finally made quitting smoking worth while.. money wise. I keep putting way any 5 dollar bills that I come across each day. (That's how much a pack of cigarettes cost when Jerry and I quit 4 1/2 years ago) Jerry helps contribute to this fund a lot too :D So we decided we would like to share some of the money we had saved and take everyone on the Essex Dinner Train. We boarded the train at 4:00 in the afternoon and had a wonderful 2 1/2 hour train ride, with dinner and desert. What a wonderful time. So relaxing and the company was really nice, as always :)

All Aboard!!

Tickets Please...

 

Our Conductor

Taking our tickets and taking time to find out where everyone was from. Such a nice man :)

 

Jimmy and Kaela (with Jerry's nose making a guest appearance) *sigh*
