We've been longtime fans of the Strasburg Railroad. Both Hubby and I loved have fond memories of visiting Strasburg when we were kids. My parents took me and my sisters once on a family outing, and Hubby has the very special memory of going with his grandparents. Now that we are parents, it has been so fun to give our girls the experience of this fun train ride.
This year, we'll be hitting the rails for the holidays, because Strasburg Railroad has some amazing holiday events that we don't want to miss. Bring the kids to ride with Santa (like your own Polar Express!), hear the traditional tale of The Night Before Christmas or even take the train to cut down your own tree!
