my mom and dad started this tradition about 6 years ago.
as i have been telling people i am realizing that it has become kind of a crazy tradition.
to drive 4 hours to eat pizza and ride the train and then to get back in the car and drive 4 hours home.
but...the kids love it. and my parents LOVE that the kids love it and so as long as the kids BELIEVE we will go!
We loaded up. We had to take 3 cars this year. It always takes forever to get there.
We have dinner at the Pizza Factory.
Our ticket times got messed up so we had some extra time.
The kids played in the train station, wrote letters to Santa, visited Mrs. Claus, looked at the village, and just hung out.
We finally got to board the train. We listened to the story of The Polar Express. We had cookies and hot chocolate.
We went all the way to the North Pole. Santa boarded the train with us and gave each of the children a bell.
We sang Christmas carols all the way back to AZ.
It was a fun time. And then back in the car!
