Train (transportation) Museum, Roanoke, VA - April 2009
Bill and I took a day-trip to Roanoke to see the Steam Train Museum and the O. Winston Link Photography display (all about trains). We had a great day, good lunch, interesting museums, fantastic scenery with the wild dogwoods in bloom all the way, and a stop at the Devil's Backbone Brewery for a good dinner and a great beer!
