All Aboard The Polar Express

Every year at Christmastime, the California Railroad Museum in Old Sacramento takes kids and families on a special trip to the North Pole. It's such a popular excursion that tickets are in high demand. I spent one morning in September online for 4 hours, just trying to make reservations and buy tickets.
And they're not cheap. But I would have spent twice as many hours and twice as many dollars to see Blake's face light up at the sight of Santa and his elves getting ready at the North Pole.
As the Polar Express song goes...

When it seems the magic slipped away,
We find it all again on Christmas Day.

Here's Blake and Daddy, waiting to get on the train.
Kids are encouraged to wear jammies.

Almost time...

All aboard! Waiting and watching out the window.
Are we there yet??

Cruising towards the North Pole...


We're there! Look closely out the window and you'll get a glimpse of Santa's house.

And look who boarded the train on the way back to Sacramento!
Santa handed out bells to all those who believe,
the first gift of Christmas.

The night wouldn't have been complete
without a picture on Santa's lap.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
