All Aboard!

Well, are you coming?" he asked.

"Where are we going?"

"Why, to the North Pole, of course!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Tomorrow we will be taking a trip to the Polar Run. The Polar Run is inspired by the award winning book 'The Pol@r Express'. This 1.5 hour long train ride to Christmas Town includes cookies and hot chocolate, a reading of the above mentioned book, lots of elves, carols, and a gift to each child from Santa.

My MIL is the ultimate grandmother. She heard about this and had to share the experience with her grandkids. So, while grandma and grandpa take The Boy and his cousin on this Christmas fantasy, we will be enjoying adult refreshments at the hotel bar, something we are rarely able to do.

The Boy is so excited. I'm excited for him.

We leave in the morning to travel 160 miles down the road, stay overnight, and return Saturday in time for the big potluck dinner at work.

Have a great weekend!
