So over the weekend, we took a trip to Palestine… that’s Palestine, Texas!! 
It’s about 3.5 hour drive from here, closer to Tyler area. There is a state park which has the ol’ fashioned steam train rides. So we drove up on Friday night and rode the train rides at Texas State Railroad Park. We took the departure from Rusk because that one was steam train while the one that left from Palestine was a diesel.
Here’s one with mom and daughter…
Now a family shot. 
Anna & JJ on the railroad tracks…
Again, mommy & daughter…
I just love JJ’s motion and expression!! 
One more family pic inside as it left! It’s 1.5 hour ride each way and 1.5 hours for lunch so total of 4.5 hours! 
Thanks for visiting Palestine, my home town, in beautiful East Texas. Good pictures of the train and family.
