CHOO CHOO

We have been wanting to ride the train for a long time. It's just one of those things that we've had on our list, but sometimes somebody has to give you a little push to finally do it! When Charlene from Justin's office called me one day to see if we'd like to go with her and her grandaughter we just had to do it! Meme was on spring break this week, so we called her up and she joined us for a fun trip.

McGregor actually has it's own Amtrack station and it's less than 3 minutes from the house. We got on and rode to Ft. Worth and then had 20 minutes to get on the next train back. I highly recommend train travel with little ones. You can get on the lounge car and there is plenty of room for coloring and games. They loved it!


The guy that takes your ticket (if you look close you can see him at the door of the train) really does have one of those hats like Sir Toppam Hat from Thomas. Garrett called him that...it was so cute!

Thank you Charlene for organizing the trip for us! We had lots of fun!

Oh, I would love to do something like that with Clinton. The closest AmTrack to us is Memphis (3+ hrs. away). But I'll have to look around and see what else they have.

What a fun day with the kids!

FUN FUN...Mrs. Courtney looks GREAT...trains are a GREAT way to travel around Europe too and even us big kids like to take the train to and from all these festivals...MUCH MUCH safer too.
