Last year my family was able to make it to the Sirrine's house (the owners of Tia Rosa's) and it was neat to see such a vast layout (like half their big backyard) of tracks and tunnels and various train stuff (I guess I don't know all the technical terms). I'm excited to go back again this year to see any improvements because as you can see by my dim picture, some of it was still under construction.
