The World's Largest Model Railroad

Ok, folks-- I am not exactly a train aficionado, but visiting the home of the Guinness World Record holder for the world's largest model railroad back in April was nothing short of amazing.  My dear friend from college, Carly, and her family had recently moved from NYC to NJ, and we had been looking for an excuse to get together... and this, my friends, was it.  Housed in maybe the most random-looking building along a highway in Flemington, NJ, this place did not disappoint.  I don't think any of my photos could do it justice!


Carly and Murph have two adorable boys, James who is 4 and Nate who is just over 1.  As we walked through the entrance, James bounded up to Liam and Joergen, grabbed them by the hands, and off they all ran in excitement to check out the incredible displays.  They were like long-lost buds, even though they had never met before!


After spending a couple of hours immersed in the trains, we had some lunch and then went outside to take a ride on a real train around the property.


Me, Liam, Carly, and Nate
When it was time to say goodbye, we attempted to get a shot of the four future Domers all together. (You should see the out-takes!)


Looking forward to finding more little day trips with this crew in the future!  Go Irish!
