You should go to the Illinois Train Museum in Union IL +2

Background: Before James loved animals, he loved trains. He spoke about them all the time. In particular was a train movie we got from the library that he must have watched 30 times.

I ended up driving up their with James on day, and Megan stayed home.

Best reasons to agree: +3
  1. Kids like trains. 
  2. The Illinois Train Museum has lots of trains. 
  3. Trains are cool. Trains are some of the biggest things that people will see move. Trains have changed a lot over time. Trains used to be very important to our county's development. Learning about trains will also allow you to learn a little about what our grand parent's lives were like.
Best reasons to disagree: -1
  1. Union Illinois is 59 miles from Chicago. It would be cooler if it was a little bit closer.
