This weekend we drove deep into North Carolina to the train station that would take us to the North Pole.  Once we arrived at our hotel we read our copy of The Polar Express, changed into our pajamas, and went to the train depot.  We had fun playing reindeer games, exploring, and watching a bubble show before checking our tickets getting in line for the train.  Once we got on the train we received our official tickets, hot chocolate, and cookies.  They read us The Polar Express book and before we knew it we were at the North Pole!  We exited the train to see Santa’s sleigh with all his reindeer and watched Santa give out the first gift of Christmas, a bell.  Back on the train we were singing and Santa himself came on board and gave each of us a bell.  We all had a great time!
