November 12, 2012 A couple of weeks ago we were at a friends house and I ended up watching "The Polar Express" starring Tom Hanks with one of their small children, it's a movie I've seen many times and this time I got sucked into watching the entire thing that evening and you know, it never gets old! If you've never seen it, it is a must see movie and another great way to experience the movie is on the Texas State Railroads' Polar Express Train Ride.
March 20, 2012 The first day of spring in East Texas is being welcomed with a healthy dose of rain. Rain that is desperately needed for East Texas lakes, which are returning to normal levels thanks to the latest downpours. With the first day of Spring, we can look forward to spending time with our families outdoors and take in all the beauty that East Texas has to offer this time of year.
