Trolley Ride

022

One of my favorite things about our town is the Trolley Tour. It is so much fun, and the kiddos love it. We are pretty lucky to live along the Trolley route, so we get to wave when it passes by.

001

When it was time for the Good Ol’ Days again the first thing that everyone wanted to do was ride the trolley, so James bought our tickets, and we all grabbed a seat. Dylan was the most excited out of all of us, he absolutely loves the Trolley.

005

The Trolley takes you throughout the city, and you get to see some amazing homes. Many are from the late 1800’s.

006

You also get to learn all about the town’s history, and hear some funny stories along the way too.

009

The Trolley is nice and breezy too, which was great in 96 degree weather. The Trolley offers many themed rides throughout the year too. There is a “Haunted Trolley” during Halloween, and a “Holiday Trolley” around Christmas. The kids had a great time, and we did too. We can’t wait to go again, especially Dylan.
