We all have comfy seats with a view from the top deck.

Although time did not allow a full tour of the court house, this neon Pegasus was the first of several Pegasuses we saw.

Our stop at children's Medical Center was to see this train display.
"Super Model Train, Children's Medical Center 1935 Motor St.Tel: 214-640-2000Fax:
The nation's largest permanent model train display features eight trains running simultaneously. This free exhibit is in the lobby of Children's Medical Center in Dallas."

"All Aboard!"
We were ready to head back home after a full day...

What a great outing! I think that's the train we took to the American Airlines Center for a Stars game. It was so much fun but because of the game it was pretty crowded. We'd love to go back during the day sometime.
