Adults: $10

Dwayne is always asking 'what's on the agenda today?' while I am still working on my first cup of coffee and incoherent. Some days we don't get much done, unless we stumble upon it while we're out, since I usually answer him with 'groceries', 'walmart', 'laundry', etc.

Since we had been in Smiths Falls almost a week already, and not yet been to the museums, thrift stores, or Canadian Tire, I decided to write a list of stuff I wanted to do in town on the whiteboard, so we could make plans even when I'm half asleep, and scratch things off as we finish with them. Much better than trying to remember what's available at each stop.

So it was that Dwayne called the Railway Museum of Eastern Ontario early in the morning to book us a tour. Reservations are required, with maximum capacity of 10. We were booked for the 11am tour, and planned to hit a nearby thrift store afterward.

The tour was fun, 3 families, so we each took our turns walking through the exhibits we were allowed to enter, and peaking through windows of the ones we weren't. Our tour guide was very informative, with a loud, booming voice, even with his mask on. It took about an hour, and Dwayne stayed through the whole thing. He likes trains. It was a great experience, and I'd highly recommend it.Read more
