Train Garden at Richardson's

 I have heard through facebook and by word of mouth that Richardson's Farm has their first Christmas Train Garden this year. Since it's just down the street, we decided to stop by. While small (especially if you are a regular at the Wise Ave. train garden in Dundalk), the boys still really enjoyed it. There are many Disney cartoons from Mickey Mouse to Lightning McQueen that boys were excited about. Blake was over the moon (it doesn't take much to thrill a 3-year old) the entire time, jumping up and down, pointing, and yelling. He even tried to make a break for it and go under the ropes at one point.
 
My personal favorite was the Disneyworld portion of the set up, with the Magic Kingdom castle and monorail. Caleb informed me that he is going to take me there one day. If they only knew we're going in a few short months and they will find out on Christmas morning!
 
While I wouldn't recommend driving a far distance just for the train garden, if you're going for food to it's definitely worth the trip. For $13.50 you can get a chicken dinner that includes a whole rotisserie chicken, 2 sides, and 4 pieces of cornbread. The crab mac & cheese is fantastic (but nowhere near healthy).
 
 
Richardson's Farm is located on Ebenezer Road in the White Marsh/Middle River Road. For detailed information visit: http://www.richardsonfarms.net/
 
P.s. Cost of the train garden=FREE (though they are taking donations for Johns Hopkins)
