After a long week of Mommy, Daddy, Juliet ride choo-choo train the day finally arrived. We headed for Dallas Friday afternoon, with the little voice in the background demanding to ride the train. It was a long car ride with only a 50 minute nap so she was very cranky when we got to Grandma and Granddads. We immediately put her in the bathtub since it was 6:30 already and gave her a screaming bath, which is always high on my want to do list. After she was happy in her Mimmie pajamas we got down to some serious wear Juliet and Mikey out (G&Gs dog) play time. He crashed before she did. She is a play bouncy ball girl and he couldn't keep up with her. Grandma surprised us with a painting that she had done of Juliet's name. She is super talented and we love having her work in our home.
Bed time proved yet again to be a fight, she is so my child in the way that she likes to be in her own bed. Takes her some time to calm down and to realize that mommy and daddy are there with her and that it is ok to go to sleep. Well, her eyes popped open at 6:45 and she was ready to go, knew exactly where we were going.
All aboard choo-choo!
We headed to Grapevine (thanks Papa for letting us know about the road construction) and had to ride a shuttle bus to get to the train. Of course in her opinion we rode a school bus. I told her this is the nicest school bus she will ever ride!
We get to the grounds and Juliet gets her first tattoo. She surprises me on what she will do one day and if you try it again she will tell you no. (We finally got the tattoo off her hand Monday night!)
We walk around for a bit because we are early and take pictures. It is a nice setup they have with model trains and a Mega Blocks Thomas and a bouncy house that had more kids than Juliet was ready for so she didn't get in.
Finally it was time for us to get on the train. We had to give the man our ticket and meet The Conductor.
Next we found our seats and the ride started. It was a 20 minute ride thru the most scenic parts of Grapevine, (not). I think she really enjoyed it once she figured out we were finally riding the choo choo train. Jon and I enjoyed watching her have fun.
All in all it was so worth the trip to Dallas to ride the train. We had alot of fun and she is still talking about riding the train. Can't wait to see what adventure Mommy finds for us to do next!
Hope you enjoyed our train ride experience. We sure did and love sharing with you.
Love, Laura
