It has become a family tradition ever since we moved to Texas. The Trains at Northpark. We took Max the very first Christmas we had here in Texas. That was probably at the height of his love for all things that chugga chugga choo choo! He was purely mesmerized by all the ding dings and whistles and clanging. After we took him that Christmas, he wanted to go back in January and we had to break it to him that it is only on display during the holidays. The next year (2008), once it became obvious to him that it was close to Christmastime, he asked to go. Of course we obliged. So, when he brought it up this past Saturday, we headed out once again!It is a fabulous display of model trains that depict different areas across the country. There is a rustic country scene with a farm and prairies. Another scene is a carnival and circus. Of course the center of the entire display is the Dallas skyline. Among other cities represented are New York City, complete with subways, San Francisco and the Golden Gate Bridge, and then Washington DC and the White House Christmas Tree!
The proceeds from ticket sales go to benefit the local Ronald McDonald House. This was the 11th year at Northpark Center. So, as long as it keeps coming back each Christmas, we will keep going! Good fun for a good cause!Speaking of trains...tonight is Max's Polar Express Birthday Party. I can't wait to share all the details and pictures with you.
