All Aboard!!!

Well, tomorrow morning (which is technically this morning since it's approaching 1AM!), we're heading for the North Pole...well, not the REAL North Pole, but something that is designed to signify the North Pole. Here in Texas, and maybe in other places around the nation, we are lucky enough to have a real rail road station just 3 hours north of here, in the little town of Palestine, TX. And, during the holidays, they decorate, then charge an arm & a leg for each member of your family to ride said train. And, since it's called the Polar Express, and they serve hot chocolate & cookies to the passengers, they apparently get away with charging the required arm & leg! But, since it's Christmas, and we, as parents, look for those special moments that help to make extra-special Christmas memories, we will be heading north on I-45 to the little town of Palestine, TX to ride the Polar Express with our dear, sweet kiddos :)

And, let me just say that Michael & I are ranking on high on the list of the most awesome parents ever - well, according to our kids that are beside themselves with anticipation of riding the real Polar Express train, which will make a stop in the North Pole to see Santa, then returning to the station where we will get to spend the night in a hotel room!

It's the little things...that cost an arm & a leg...right?!?
