Ennis RR Museum

On our way home from Dallas today mom & I stopped along the way for some lunch. We picked a little town to do as we always do on our road trips. This time we stopped in Ennis. Ennis is a small town just south of Dallas off of the high way.

We ate lunch at the Firehouse Grill. The salad was good and the burger was even better.

We also decided to go a block north to the Ennis Visitors Center to pick up some brochures for places to go and things to do, cause that is what mom and i do when we have days off.

Behind the Visitors Center is what mom calls a GEM. It was the Ennis RR Museum. We met a great man named Bill. He works there as a volunteer and is a man who knows his railroads. The admission was $2 for my mom and I was free. At first I didn't want to go, but then once Mr. Bill started to talk about all the different things in the museum I didnt want to leave. He even took us into the original depot to see what the train club was working on for Christmas. I got to sit in the breakman's chair and look out.

I'm very glad to stop here and will be back on another road trip. Here are more pictures for you to look at.

Playa Hermosa, Costa Rica

Went surfing again today. Spent the whole day in the water while mom and grandma went shopping.

Had a total blast!!!

I hope Santa will bring me my own surfboard this year for Christmas. I keep asking my mom to get me one but she said we don't live close enough to the beach.

Pueblo Real, Costa Rica

While in Pueblo Real mom and I took a Monkey Tour, it took our tour a while to find monkeys but when we did there were about 30 in the family.

They came on our boat and at bannanas from my hand.

Canopy Safari

Today we went on a zipline canopy tour and it was AWSOME. Our van got stuck on the way to the mountian because the road was washed out, so the guys had to get out and push the bush thru. Then when we got there I had to get fitted with my harness and gear.

After the 1st line, I was a pro. We got to zip line on 10 lines, rappel down 2 towers, swing on a tarzan swing and cross a suspension bridge.
