Quality not Quantity

Yesterday was the eldest's birthday. We did the day our with Thomas thing for him. It was a flippen 2 hour drive to get there and a 2 hour drive to get back. My wife made plans for us to meet my family at a restaurant at 5:30 pm, we had a 1pm train ride on Thomas and too much junk to see. Dianna though we would leave at 10am we didn't leave until about 10:20am the venue had moved so we had to find out where it moved to so that ate up more time I think we finally got in at 12:40pm. Then the friken train ride didn't go until 1:30pm. That left us a whopping hour to check out what the rest of the place was about. Thomas had a bit of fun on a bouncy castle and a hay stack maze. David picked a fight with another kid, the kid hit him David laughed and pounded him. The other kid wanted a piece of him but his dad stopped him. I think he knew David would smoke him. Thomas got a shot with Sir Topemhat it wasn't going to happen for David. So we had them play for a bit in the imagination station got them some hats and a Thomas a train whistle. Had them head out and David had a meltdown because he had to leave. The both crashed in the car shortly after, thankfully David slept the whole ride back.

Overall impression with a Day out with Thomas... it sucked. I think it would have been better if we weren't so rushed but even then I think it still would have sucked. It was set up in a dusty area. The lines to get on to the train were poorly organized, everything was grossly over priced. Frankly not worth the money. Just a really crappy experience. I would have had more fun with the kids playing with the Thomas the tank engine train set at home.
