We took Arabella to Boone to go on the Santa Express (a knock off of the Polar Express... boo on copyright laws.) She was so excited to go and talked about it for weeks before we actually went. We checked in and got our tickets, and boarded the train. Bella was in awe of all the cool things to see around her. She had never been on a real train before. While we rode the train to the "North Pole" a woman read a book written for this train ride called "The Santa Express," some hot chocolate and cookies were delivered to everyone in their seat, and we all sang Christmas carols (slightly disappointed with the inability of the train staff to remember the words, but we knew the words, so it all worked out!). Once we got to the "North Pole" Santa boarded the train and came through to say hello to every child! Arabella was ecstatic because she got to have a jingle bell from Santa's sleigh... just like in The Polar Express! Overall, it was a great experience for Arabella... she LOVED it! As an adult, it left a lot to be desired, but I'm glad we took her on it anyway!
