You’re all moved into your new house, thanks to expert moving company A Mother’s Touch Movers in Melbourne, FL. But there’s still time to take the kids on a vacation before school resumes, so you may be considering what destination your family will enjoy.

If you’re tired of the amusement parks in Orlando, consider a creative twist on a train ride through the Great Smoky Mountains, called the “Wizard of Oz Train Ride” (http://www.gsmr.com/events/wizard-of-oz#.V5qCxq7TS8p). It may very well prove to be a hit for your family members. Train riding is often a new experience for children, and they will particularly enjoy the beloved film’s story retelling. The characters in the book and film will make appearances on board, and there will be refreshments and a live stage show during the 2 ½-hour ride.

There are a few seasonal stories later this fall and winter that will be featured on the Great Smoky Mountains Railroad, as well, including a Halloween-themed one called “Peanuts Pumpkin Patch Express” (http://www.gsmr.com/events/peanuts-great-pumpkin-patch-express#.V5qFLq7TS8q) and the “Polar Express Train Ride” (http://www.gsmr.com/events/polar-express#.V5qE067TS8p).
