Tweetsie (Part 5...will it ever end)

There is no Disney up in Nana's part of the world.
No Six Flags.
No Universal Studios.

BUT...

There is a Tweetsie Railroad!

Tweetsie is one of those treasures that gets
lost in the amusement park shuffle.
Just a little mom-n-pop place.
A throwback to yesteryear.


The central theme is the Old West and steam trains.
Here the family is preparing for a high speed
train adventure.
Which included some great mountain views and bad acting.


This train robber spent some time behind bars.


The boys took in some go-karts.


This stomach dropping ride.


The ol' carousel.


Ferris Wheel.
(Jonny lasted one revolution and wanted OFF,
doesn't help that we are on the side of a mountain.)



Tilt-A-Hurl,...I mean...Whirl

Remember when Disney had the sky ride across Fantasy Land?
I do.
Does that make me old?




Catching a ride back home?
Fun for All!


On another note-
On one rainy day we headed into town


and finally found a shoe that Jacob won't outgrow!

That looks like a fun and relaxing day. It reminds me of Silver Dollar City in Branson MO. I would love that ferris wheel! I also remember the sky lift ride, only the one I remember was at Six Flags.
