The Polar Express

All aboard, the Polar Express

Hopefully everyone has seen the Tom Hanks movie, the Polar Express.  This train ride is one of 22 in the US and the only one in CA to attempt to duplicate the movie for children and adults.  Tickets go on sale to Railroad museum members first and are usually sold out before they go on sale to the general public. After missing out last year, we joined this year and were able to get 10 tickets.  We had an amazing time.  Nene, Dani, Claudia, German, Barbara, Jimmy, Emily, Baba, Nate and I had an amazing journey to the North Pole.  

Ready to board the Polar Express.  PJ's strongly recommended.

We signed up for a first class cabin.  We got the Hot Chocolate mugs to bring home.

Claudia is very difficult to get a good picture of.  I loved this shot of her.

Santa came by and said high to the kids.  Gave out the first gift of Xmas, a bell from his sleigh.

Claudia, Emily, Nate and Jimmy ready for a trip up north.

We brought our Polar Express book, had it signed by the conductor.  One of the parts of the trip is they read the story to everyone.
