For Micah's Birthday this year I wanted to take him somewhere new, that' really hard when you’ve been together for as long as we have.
And then it hit me, we have never taken a ride on the Grapevine Vintage Railroad.
The Grapevine Vintage Railroad travels along the historic Cotton Belt Route between Grapevine and the Fort Worth Stockyards. It is serviced by two vintage locomotives - "Puffy" the 1896 steam locomotive, which is the oldest continuously operating steam engine in the South, and a 1953 GP-7 diesel locomotive. Passengers enjoy riding in authentic 1920s and 1930s Victorian-style coaches as they take a step back in time and experience train travel as it was in the glory days of the expanding west.

This is only the beginning of the journey, tomorrow I will take you on a scenic tour to the Fort Worth Stockyards.
