The Polar Express

We decided to go on a new adventure this year and go on the Polar Express. We went on the Grand Canyon Railway which leaves from Williams, Arizona. I made the reservations clear back in August and even then all the weekends were full except the day after Christmas, so thats when we went. Even though it is only an hours train ride, it was alot of fun. The train car was all decorated and they serve cookies and hot chocolate. They read the story the Polar Express as we went through a "time warp" tunnel on the way to the North Pole. The North Pole was a small village all lit with Christmas lights and Santa was there on his sleigh waving at the train. As the train started to head back, Santa hopped on the train. He handed each child a silver bell. The kids thought it was great.



The only draw back was for whatever reason I did something to my back while we were there and could barely walk. It took me a couple of days to get back to normal, hence wasting holiday break from school to get other things done. O'well.
