Vaca - Day 1 - Express to the North Pole

This afternoon we left for a much needed vacation. First stop on the agenda was a trip to the North Pole on the Po!ar Express in pjs. See the big train in the background.

It's a bit easier to see how big the train is in this picture of Ben who was a tad bit excited about the reindeer he was standing next to.

On the train, we got our own table and seating for four. The trip was not too long. There were lots of things to look at along the way.

We got hot chocolate and cookies. Yummy.

The ticket checker sprinkled "snow" in our hair as he punched our tickets.

And, we got to see Santa! No changes on the wish list. The boys are holding steady with a Wall-e for Ben and a race track for Liam. Santa better get busy.

There was also singing and laughing and playing. It was a great time. You'd think everyone would be worn out by the time we got settled into our beds for the night. No chance these two were going to sleep in the same bed. This didn't last long.
