Day Five: Post York Syndrome/The Baby Shower The York Meet has come to a close. Upon waking up this morning I sat up and thought about the great time we had at the Meet. Seeing lots of friends and meeting new ones, buying way more trains than I planned and eating like Kings. My aching feet didn’t matter. It was sooo much fun. The Meet went by so quickly. It seems like the more fun we have the quicker it goes by! Now the Post York Syndrome has set in. The realization and let down that the vendors have left, friends have gone home and I have to wait six months until October’s York Meet. I hope the sun will still shine tomorrow.    But the fun isn’t over yet! I still get to relive the joy when my purchases arrive on Friday. And today is the day of my youngest daughter’s baby shower. The plan was I would take Lynley to the event and then I would go do some railfanning along Amtrak’s Northeast Corridor just outside Philly. However, my daughter Collette told the organizers she wanted her Daddy to be there. So of course I stayed and escorted her in when she arrived.  Myself, Collette and Lynley  Of course, since she’s having a boy our gifts included the obligatory railroad themed clothing and engineer’s hat that we bought at the York Meet, along with convertible crib/toddler bed/ regular bed and related bedroom furniture. When the party was over Collette was very tired so we helped take home some of the baby gifts. When that was done we met up with a former coworker and friend of Lynley’s for dinner. After another big meal we were done for the day and headed back to the hotel. I need to squeeze in some railfanning at some point before heading home on Wednesday morning! |
