If you love model trains, this Christmas exhibit in the UT Gardens on the Agriculture Campus in Knoxville, Tn. http://agriculture.tennessee.edu/news//releases/2009/0911HolidayExpress.html is a must see. The display has 10 garden-scale model trains along with real water falls, tunnels, mountains, buildings, and lights. I even thought how cool it would be to build one of these layouts in my backyard until I found out the cost for just one of these train engines. You should see the eyes on the kids (yes, we're all kids when it comes to trains) as they walk in and see this for the first time. There is truly a fasination about miniature working layouts of model trains that will mesmerize any age. Be sure to check out the schedule on their website above since it is only on display a certain time during each Christmas season. The cost is only $5/person and free for children under 4. Also, don't forget to take in the UT Gardens while you're there. All of the money goes to the UT Gardens, which is a very worthwhile cause, which people enjoy throughout the year at no cost. You'll see hundreds of different plants and trees. Make your Christmas season special by dropping by.
