All Aboard The Polar Express

Yesterday we went to North Conway to ride to the North Pole on The Polar Express! We love the book and the train ride is quite popular. The only way to get tickets is to enter a lottery and then wait for a call on one certain day to find out if you can purchase tickets. There is a 20 minute train ride (each way) complete with hot coco and a chocolate candy. When we arrived at the North Pole you enter a large tent like area and listen to a man read The Polar Express and then Santa comes to visit. The reader of the story is supposed to be the boy in the story, all grown up. He was excellent! Every person was given a bell on the way home too.

Was it wonderful? We had such an amazing time when we went, Elizabeth was Emily's age. Just looking at the pictures brings back such great memories!!
