So after four years of it thrashing about my holiday season, Tom and I finally took a ride on the Polar Express. I'd heard that this year was better than ever. Being familiar with the story is a must,but if you're not, it's OK, as the train stewards read it to us on our way to the North Pole. So here, without further ado...
Top 5 Things About My Ride Aboard the Polar Express...
5. The Holiday Light Spectacular at Front and K Sts. beforehand. You've gotta go see it! 6:00 and 7:30 each night. Very cool!
4. The 8/9 year old looking out at the North Pole with a strongly questioning look on his face. The end was clearly near.
3. Hanging outside on the back of the train car with all of the "train guys."
2. The sounds of ringing bells throughout Old Sac as the kids were running back to their cars.
...and the number one thing about (finally) getting to ride the Polar Express...
1. The two little kids looking out at the elves at the North Pole. One elf picks up a HUGE present, points to it, points to the little guys, and nods. I thought they were going to pass out. I almost lost it. So cute!
Sounds like you had a blast. You'll have to let me "tag" along next year after I've moved down to Sac town.
