The Polar Express

A couple of weeks ago we took a trip to the North Pole via Palestine, Texas. That's right, we took a ride on the Polar Express version of the Texas State Railroad. It is about a 1-hour train ride full of activities for the kids including cookies and hot chocolate, reading along to the Polar Express book, Christmas carols, and a special visit by Santa. Palestine is about halfway between Fort Worth and Evadale, so we all met in the middle and had a great time. Here are some pictures....notice the matching pajamas. They encourage everyone (i.e., the kids) to wear PJs on the train :)
