We skipped last year but had done it the previous couple. Â It such a cool thing to do.There's a state park in Rusk at the other end of the line about 30 miles away. Â We took our camper up there and made a weekend out of it so we could ride the last train of the evening and not have to make the drive back home in the middle of the night. Â After the train ride we finished our night with s'mores by the campfire. Â Wonderful lifelong memories for the kids.

That is a beautiful park, if its the one I am thinking of.
My kids would go on field trips on the train every year through elementary. We have never done the polar express though. 4951
