The holidays are here! I paid a visit to The Trains at NorthPark.
“Nowhere can I think so happily as on a train.” — A. A. Milne
I usually let Christmas come and go, but I plan to enjoy the season this time around. Today was the first stop on my Dallas Holiday Tour. I visited The Trains at NorthPark.

The Trains at NorthPark is a 35-year-old Dallas holiday tradition.
It has raised more than $13 million for the Ronald McDonald House of Dallas (RMHD) since 1987.



My family enjoyed 1,600 feet of train tracks that took us on a fun cross-country trip.
I snapped pics of the Golden Gate Bridge and enjoyed my stay in New York City.






Dallas made an appearance, of course.
Check out Reunion Tower and Big Tex, a Dallas cultural icon locals love seeing each year at the annual State Fair of Texas.




More than 50,000 visitors enjoy the trains each season, and today I was one of them.
I expected crazier crowds on this chilly Black Friday. My daughter enjoyed pressing the buttons to make parts of the exhibit go.



I look forward to decorating the tree with my little one tomorrow.
It will be her very first Christmas tree and my return to the tradition after 6 years!
