Railfest 2011 [VIDEO]
Turned out to be a beautiful day for the 1st Annual Railfest in historic downtown Texarkana. Besides the smell of the Rib cook-off that was going on sponsored by Big Jakes BBQ.

Texarkana is gearing up for a NEW Festival this weekend in Downtown Texarkana. It's the first annual Railfest at the front street Festival Plaza. This family fun event starts at 10am and there will be activities all day long.
Although we didn't bring any kids on the trip, it was pretty obvious that Beaches Boscobel Resort and Golf Club is a great place for kids.
As we were heading down to breakfast this morning, we walked by the Sesame Street character breakfast. The kids inside were having a blast, dancing with Elmo and hugging Cookie Monster. The little ones were bouncing around, elated to sit down for a meal with their favorite characters. There are various shows and activities to do throughout the day with Sesame Street, like finding the letter of the day with Grover, exercising with Elmo and looking for rubber duckies with Ernie.
Our first excursion during our stay at the Beaches Boscobel Luxury Included Resort and Golf Club was a catamaran cruise on the beautiful and exciting oceans after a morning full of "liquid sunshine."
The highlight of the cruise was lying on the "trampoline" on the front, a series of criss-crossed ribbons that form a webbing with nothing but ocean several feet beneath, and being splashed as the catamaran crested the waves. We also stopped for a while to swim in the ocean, which was surprisingly warm, and even found a starfish and several sea urchins by diving down to the bottom. On the short ride back to the resort, the crew taught us some Jamaican dancing, and the DJ mixed in a few fun American songs for us to enjoy.
We are here at the beautiful Beaches Boscobel Resort and Golf Club.
We arrived last night, and my top three impressions from the resort, and Jamaica in general, can be read after the jump.

Congratulations to Ronny & Donny Sparks and the Four States Entertainment Center for bringing us one of the Best Championship Bull Riding Events, I have seen in the Ark-La-Tex in a long time.

We got to see 40 of the top riders in the country going against the best bulls in the business.
