Day 74: McLintock and Stillman Railroad Museum

Monday.
Weather was again beautiful on Monday, so after allowing Sandy to do some washing we packed our lunch and drove off to the McLintock and Stillman Railroad Museum in Scottsdale, East Phoenix.
We had visited there Easter 2013, but were happy to return as we had enjoyed it so much. Sandy was ecstatic. We investigated the Forty and Eight Merci Train Boxcar, we rode on the small train round the park, we visited the railway museum and stood in the Presidential Pullman railcar (one of only six ever made).
We then spent some time looking at the three enormous model railroad layouts on display. Sandy rushing from one scene to another oohing! and aahing! like a little kid (which I suppose we all did), marvelling at all the little model cars, trains, houses and scenery that were on show.
All too soon it was time to go home, so we drove with the drive time traffic, stopping at Denny's on Camelback for dinner. We had all had a lovely day, which we hoped was especially good for Sandy.

 
Tuesday
Today we had to take Sandy to the airport and bid farewell, though none of us were prepared to say it was for the last time as we are sure that we will meet up again some time in the future, somewhere.
Thanks for a great, but short, week with us, which we will treasure for a long time.
