Sofia is a huge Thomas the Train fan so, when I heard that “A Day Out With Thomas” was being held at the Florida Railroad Museum we knew it was a must. We surprised her with the trip and even thought it was almost 2hrs away but definitely recommended if you have a Thomas fan. Check out tip #9 below for a link to Love Laugh Create’s Facebook page where we got our amazing matching tees.
The event was set up with a bunch of tents with different activities, train sets, gift shops and a scavenger hunt to get a “prize”. The prize was a little bit of a let down, it was basically a mat that showed all the characters and their names. But all in all Sofia had a blast.
I’m not sure what I was thinking but I didn’t think about a “museum” being outdoor. But it was and other than inside the tents, there was little to no covering. With a long wait to actually ride the train, this was an issue for our little dude who overheats easily.
These are my tips for surviving A Day Out With Thomas:
- Water…tons of water
- Be prepared for a port-a-potty visit if you have a potty trained little or stop for a bathroom break just before you arrive
- SUNSCREEN I’m not sure how but this is something I forgot
- Hats for the kids
- Stroller fan or blanket (if you are in colder weather)
- Snacks
- Camera, don’t forget the camera!
- If you see a break in the picture line for Thomas…RUN TO GET THERE!
- Get Your Thomas tees from Love-Laugh-Create on Facebook, I love her tees!!!
- Enjoy all the chaos…there is plenty of it!
