I Heard It Through The Grapevine

"Heard it through the grapevine.
Not much longer would you be mine.
Oh I heard it through the grapevine.
Oh I'm just about to lose my mind.
Honey, honey yeah."
- Marvin Gaye







Today we stayed close to home and visited the 21st Annual Grapefest. Celebrating Texas wines through a 4 day festival, Main street is closed while thousands of pedestrians walk the vendor booths to numerous tasting stands, a carnival, live music, and ongoing planned activities. We began with a pony ride, the boys' first ever. They smiled ear-to-ear the entire 10 minutes as "Lester" and "Shaggy" took them around on a pony merry-go-round.








Then we headed to the Depot to gather our 1200 tickets to ride the 1953 Vintage Diesel 30 minutes down the historic Cotton Belt Route. The Tarantula is a popular weekend activity for all ages. After boarding the locomotive in Grapevine, it travels 90 minutes to the Fort Worth Stockyards where you are given 2 hours to tour the historic area before reboarding to return to Grapevine. The Vintage Railroad also holds special events throughout the year such as the Halloween Scream Train, North Pole Express, and Thomas the Train day.
