THE POLAR EXPRESS
If you have never ridden the Polar Express - may I highly recommend you put it on your "bucket list."
This year we took two of our great grandchildren and their parents on the Polar Express out of Durango, Colorado.
I was not familiar with the story so we bought the DVD and watched it. It is quite a story.
The trip did not disappoint. It stayed true to the story and the kids had their hot chocolate served by our own singing chef. They had their cookies. We rode the train from Durango to the North Pole where we picked up Santa and his elves.
Santa visited every car on the train and talked to every child. Each child received their "Polar Express bell" from Santa's elf.
We were in the glass dome car. The seats were very comfortable. The Christmas light display at the North Pole was amazing.
After the ride was over - the kids went to the museum where they sat on Santa's lap and give him their list of "wants" for Christmas.
The Polar Express is in many cities in this country. Find one that is close to you - spend the money - and make some memories.
I was a little surprised at the number of adults who were on the trip without any children. Guess that just goes to prove that we are all really children at heart when it comes to Christmas.
