Took the train ride. It could not have been better weather. The experience was awesome. The kids just loved it. Noisy but a good noisy. Train sounds: whistles, creaks, squeals, pops, and grinds. The views were great and made me miss East Texas very much. Tall trees, lots of creeks, old houses, plenty of cattle, deep valleys, rolling hills, and friendly people. We saw at least 20+ deer stands along the way. I would recommend this trip to anyone. I am sure we will do it again someday.
We went to Tyler and met up with my high school best friend. After a drive around looking at old houses, schools, parks, and friends homes, we went out to eat at a favorite restaurant. It was too late to drive back to Gunter so we just booked a hotel room in Tyler. Holiday Inn Express with a indoor pool. Kids are happy. Mom and dad are tired.
Drove by some old houses and went home through Canton. We pulled over at a taco stand and a fruit stand to look for some Noonday onions. The kids slept most of the way home. Mandy and I talked and looked at the hills and scenery.
