The Gold Coast Railroad Museum

Yesterday we were invited to James birthday party at this museum and it was such a great experience to go there! We've been to the zoo tons of times but never seen this museum before and they are one beside the other.
The party was inside a train car, original but unconfortable. James mom gave the kids a hat and a train whistle (see the last 2 pictures) then we visited the museum and all the train they have there including the Presidential Rail Car, U.S. Number 1 Ferdinand Magellan, this train was used by the US Presidents Roosvelt and Truman.
Santi had the time of his life, he loved to see his favorite friend James again and all the "tu tus" (this is how he call the trains), he went up and down every train car and played a lot in the room with model trains. Then we had a private ride in a real train, we missed the ride with the party so we went in the next one and had the luck to be the only ones so we could go back and enjoy the trip outside! Great experience and we learned a lot! If you come to Miami this si a must see place!
