All Aboard!

We drove to Bryson City, North Carolina to take Coleman to the Polar Express.  This was our second year attending this fun event.  We boarded the 5:00 p.m., and the conductor punched our tickets.  The train then departed toward the North Pole as we drank hot chocolate, ate muffins and cookies and listened to music from the movie.  We then were read the story of The Polar Express.  As the story ended we arrived to a lit up area with elves throwing packages and Santa sitting on a chair.  It was the North Pole!  The next thing we knew, Santa entered our train car with an elf and a bell for each child.  We then sang Christmas carols on our way back to the station.  Coleman was asked by the crew if he would like to stand up front to sing his favorite song.  Of course his request was the "ABC's".  Everyone sang the "ABC's to his lead.  Before we arrived back to the station, Santa paid us another visit, and we were given a photo opportunity.  Finally we arrived back at the station and headed down the street to eat dinner.  We all had a wonderful time!
