Last weekend we took Elani to Mt. Dora for a REAL train ride. The Inland Express departs Mt. Dora for a 1 1/2 hour round-trip rail excursion to Tavares and back to Mt. Dora. The windows are all open on in the passenger cars so you get a full view of the surroundings and the landscape. When we reached Tavares, we did a three-point turn and made the return trip back to Mt. Dora. The first part of the trip we are traveling between 5 and 10 miles per hour between Lake Dora and old 441. Elani has wanted to ride on a real train for a long time and we finally decided it was time to take her. We had a great time and it was quite relaxing too!
We are hoping to go back and do the Christmas Express from Eustis to go see Santa Claus.
Thursday we depart with the RV for Atlanta for another NASCAR race. With only 4 races to go before Homestead (the final race of the season), I think that # 48 Jimmie Johnson has the Championship in the bag, so to speak. But then again, anything can happen in the last 4 races and we could see a major mix-up.
See ya on the Road!
