The winner of the Expo tickets for this weekend are  The Parkers who  said…

Have you picked a winner yet? If not, my husband and son would be SOOOOO excited to go. My son is also OBSESSED with any form of transportation and especially remote controlled. Let’s just say he’s a Geo-Trax addict! My husband is a car designer so he’d be in heaven as well.

The winner of the Irvine Park RR tickets is Crissy who said…My favorite Easter tradition when I was little was dying eggs. I would tell my mom to buy a ton of them. One year she got the 5 dozen package from Price Club and my sister and I got to decorate all of them! Now that I am a mom, my favorite tradition is watching my daughter find the eggs and her basket. This year I will have a brand new 2 week old baby on Easter! Now THAT is a great Easter gift! ♥
Congratulations and email me at mom@daytrippingmom.com with your info!

The 2010 RCX-Radio Control Expo will be coming to the Fairplex on March 20-21 and I thought this might be an exciting outing , especially for dads who love their “grown up” toys and kids who love radio controlled boats, planes and cars!

Can you believe Easter is right around the corner? I still can’t believe it. In our family we have a few Easter traditions and for the past couple of years heading over to the Irvine Park Railroad has become one of them. Last year the kiddos had a blast having their faces painted, looking for eggs and of course riding the train.

Irvine Park Railroad Easter Eggstravaganza will run from March 20th through April 3rd. You can ride the train, go on an Easter egghunt (make sure to bring a basket!), meet the Easter Bunny, take pictures and my son’s favorite- take a hay ride! We had a blast next year and I can’t wait to take them in two weeks.

It’s giveaway time! One lucky reader will win a family 10 pack of tickets to Irvine Park Railroad. All you have to do is tell me what your favorite Easter tradition is. I love reading your responses! You have until next Thursday the 18th to enter. Good luck!
