Designing Dallas-Fort Worth 2050! - A Great Rainy Day, Home School, or Classroom Activity for STEM Education Activity for Your Children/Classroom

Visit Grapevine Week! - Going to the Lodge - The Great Wolf Lodge! #grapevine (Youtube Wednesdays)


Can you REALLY take a toddler to the Great Wolf Lodge? hmmm...

This question has been asked in our family for the past few weeks! We would love for her to experience the atmosphere AND the water, but we are unsure if the hotel would be open to a 1 year old. :)

Visit Grapevine Week! - Grapevine Vintage Railroad! #grapevine


Sometimes, I feel especially fortunate to live in Texas because we have a wealth of experiences for singles, families, and others! Here is one of the resources that I hope to experience soon, but I am super excited that it is available and it is within a stone's throw of my house.

Here is the promotion video from last year:



This travel post is focused on the Grapevine Vintage Railroad in Grapevine, TX!

This railroad is not just a simple ride from one place to another, but it is an interactive journey with the conductor, railroad staff, and sometimes a robber on horseback.  ;)

Almost every day the train is available for the following routes:

- Grapevine to Fort Worth Stockyards

- Stockyard Trinity River Ride

- Grapevine Fun Train

The first class and tour class rates are available. I will admit that I am not sure of the difference on a day train, instead of an overnight train.

Special Trains:

- Great Train Robberies (Saturdays and Sundays)
- July 4th Train
- Friday Fun Trains

August 2013
