Tweetsie Railroad

Our last day at the mountains, we ventured over to the famous Tweetsie Railroad. We grew up going here and loved it as kids. Watson is infatuated with trains and he couldn't contain his excitement when we arrived. We rode the big Thomas train, played in the Thomas jumpy thing, met Sir Topham Hatt, watched a dance skit, rode some rides, and went to the gift store. It was fun seeing the similarities and differences from when we used to go to now. Some things were the same while others were different. Aaron and Alex had never been and I had been telling them the skit on the train was cool and scary. The cowboys would get off the train at a stop and there would be fake shooting going on between Cowboys and Indians. Unfortunately, they have toned it down a lot which was a huge disappointment. The kids still had fun and they just watched the whole time without moving!
 It was a great time and fun watching the kids enjoy something that we enjoyed as kids!

  1. Such a cute story! The reason why there wasn't any gunfights on the train was because you visited during Thomas. Every other time of the year they still do the Train Robbery and Indian attack like they have always done.
