"Keep looking up, because that's where it all is..." - Kidd Kraddick An amazing part of our Princess Guide! In April of 2016, I was lucky enough to get to review an experience at Enchanted Fairies. I remember driving there with my sweet little girl, yelling at cars to get out of the way as we were hitting traffic at every turn. This time, I brought my husband so he could see the amazing experience and we left so early, no traffic except for a very small moment. We still parked, and ran straight to Enchanted Fairies excited!

In 2008, I was standing in a grocery store looking at books and decided I wanted to start reading again. I hadn't been looking at books very often but I thought it was time to expand and try to give myself some entertainment. After picking up one book, I stood waiting for my then boyfriend to finish looking at magazines when I looked up and my gaze caught Dark Lover by JR Ward. I put the first book back on the shelf and skimmed the pages of the red and black novel, deciding to give the Black Dagger Brotherhood a try.

Grapevine Vintage Railroad: Official Website Grapevine Vintage Railroad: Official Facebook Update: After speaking with Ms. Lucas I wanted to go ahead and add a disclaimer. DISCLAIMER: My family's experience of the train ride was a 1 in a 500,000 event. The delays that we incurred are not common and should not in any way keep you from choosing to ride. This was just my honest review of my experience.  As the first official review of Review Ballerina, I want to thank Ms. Wesley Lucas for providing my family and I the tickets to ride the train. The manager, Ms. Iona Robbins was wonderful and everyone working the train were fantastic. Here is my review.   We got to the train station around noon, and immediately realized we'd parked way too far away. There were signs all over saying "Train Parking Here" so I park where the toy train museum was. We ended up walking across the train yard to get to the station and across a busy street. Afte...
