Yesterday my parents and I went to the
Bowmanville Apple Festival which is an usual event that I go to on a yearly basis. So we say vendors with Honey, apples which had all kinds of Apples, golden delicious, MacIntosh Apples and so on. Also it has jumping castle for the kids and speaking of which they also had a Merry-Go Round for the kids. However there was no Ferris Wheel whatsoever and normally they have a Ferris Wheel but this year there was absolutely no wheel this year which I find it really off like I said there is a Ferris wheel normally. Anyways the one place I did not see there and they are always there each festival is Tyrone Mills and this year they were not there so that is a question I cannot answer is where they were this year. I was disappointed as I was thinking of grabbing a donut from their booth this year as they make the best donuts ever
.
So another thing I noticed is the lack of food vendors and I knew someone that I worked with when I did my High School placement he had a hot dog vendor my dad and I went to but the Toasted Walnut was there outside. The Member of Parliament who is going to try and get re-elected to office tomorrow actually and he was there actually so it was neat to meet the Bowmanville Member of Parliament and seems like a really nice guy. There others who are running were there too and I have my thoughts and feelings about seeing politicians campaigning but again I understand why. Final few things I would like to even mention is I ran into my aunt which is always nice to see family and we didn't know she was going to be there but family does mean a lot to me honestly. Overall we had a good time and looking forward to the next event.

I know the posts are out of sync in the last couple of days with my very busy schedule recently but here is the post for today. I went to York Durham Railway and this is the first time I have been there in 3 years as 3 years ago I filmed with Larry up there for the what was the series finale and also I took a trip on it with my dad that summer as well so it was definitely time to hop back on the train, even if it is partially down the line to Goodwood and back which is what we did. I am not going to talk about the difficult time we had getting tickets as things all worked out in the end but I am so happy they are getting more and more popular to this day and I'm sure when I filmed up there it helped them as well. Anyways we went to Goodwood and back and we were on Car # 101 which is a Budd car from Boise Idaho which yes is the potato state in the U.S. Anyways we were pushed and pulled by diesel 22 which ran in the province of Quebec. So we went on our way and now we were like in the dining car where it had a table and chairs so it was comfortable for me at least but it was nice but I perfect the other type of car but those were the only seats really available at the time of our purchase of tickets.
This is not much of a post of the day as I did take several pics which you can definitely find on my Instagram account @ChrisBOnTheWeb. Anyways we had a good time yesterday and we know in the very nearby future we need to book ahead of time to do the entire trip to Stouville and back as we very much do enjoy that trip in the past and we will be back next year for sure! We will be making sure of that! Also we got a look at the Diesel up close and I wish I said I'd like to go into all 3 of the diesels when we filmed which I can say I have been in all 3 but least I got to be in 3612 at least. So may as well mention this to you guys as well this weekend my dad and I are off to Halton County Radial Museum and the following weekend we are heading to South Simcoe Railway so we will be indeed busy for the next few weekends with new posts. Again thank you so much for reading this short post and I hope you guys enjoyed this little post about my trip and I know it wasn't much but least I got a post out for you guys tonight due to me being extremely busy all day with Larry.
