Train to Plains

 Owen's WINGS field trip this year was a train trip on the SAM short-line railroad from Cordele to Plains, Ga.  Plains is a small town whose claim-to-fame is that it is the home of President Jimmy Carter.  Owen was chaperoned by his Papa, and these two had a great time.  They were served a light lunch on the train, and there was even a visit from Santa.
 Once in Plains, the group toured the Jimmy Carter National Historic Site and then walked around downtown Plains.  They were able to see some things, but my dad said that they didn't really have enough time to see everything because the lay-over wasn't long enough.  Owen's souvenir from the trip was one of those fake cans that you and a plastic snake jumps out at you.  The can was made to look like a can of peanuts (because Plains is famous for producing peanuts). Owen played with his toy all the way home (and tried to trick us over and over again once he got home).  It was a nice trip.
