Big Choo-Choo

Nico has had a fascination with all kinds of vehicles, trucks, airplanes, cars, trains, helicopters, and boats for as long as I can remember, but lately trains have taken a precedence. Recently Nico and Mommy have taken rides on trains at the park, trains at the mall, and then this past weekend, we took a special train ride. The Trinity Rail Express runs between Dallas and Fort Worth and I decided to take Nico on a day trip. With Gigi in town again, the three of us caught the "big choo-choo" in downtown Fort Worth and rode the rails to the West End, had lunch, and then jumped back on the TRE to come home.

Nico was so incredibly excited when the "big choo-choo" rolled into the station! I loved watching the excitement on his face during the trip and seeing him light up when the train blew it's horn for the first time. This was such a good experience for my little man and I am pretty sure we will be heading to Dallas via the train again in the near future because when Nico is happy, his Mamma is happy!

Here are some pictures of our day journey across the DFW Metroplex.
