Polar Express

 During our recent trip to Northern Arizona we took a ride on the Grand Canyon Railway based on the classic children's book Polar Express by Chris Van Allsburg.
 The conductor personally visited each passenger on board to punch everyone's ticket.
 Just like the book...we enjoyed hot cocoa and cookies while listening to the story.
 We journeyed through the dark wilderness for a special visit to the "North Pole". It was SO EXCITING when we saw all the lights in the distance through the train windows!
 Santa boarded the Polar Express and gave everyone a special gift....a silver bell off his sleigh.
 It was a really fun night!
