We had so much fun at a
train cafe a few weeks ago. When we were coming home from the city and my husband mentioned that there was a train cafe on the way, we jumped at the opportunity. It's
J.C. Mickleson's in Nephi, Utah. We've been through Nephi quite a few times, but with the restaurant at the other end of town, I had just never been there. (Plus they don't say anything about the trains on their website--they should!)
As soon as we walked in, we knew that we were in the right place. We immediately saw lots of trains, some elevated above our heads. (I was trying out a new gizmo with a camera, hence the somewhat fuzzy photos.)
We could watch the trains the entire time we were eating. (Or in Desert Girl's case, the entire time she was applying spaghetti to her face and clothes.)
This was the view from our table of the very long freight train.
We tried to get Desert Boy to count the cars, but he lost interest somewhere in the twenties.
The freight train even had construction equipment and tractors. It made a big impression!
I'm thinking we will be back to the Train Cafe sooner rather than later!
Glad to see you found one closer to home!
ReplyDeleteWow! Thank you for this! We pass through Nephi quite frequently and had no idea that JCM's had trains. Our little train lover will be so surprised when we stop next time!
ReplyDeleteI like the name Train Cafe better. It's more fitting. Looks cool. Wow I'm hungry for spaghetti all of a sudden! =)
