The Polar Express

We went to Bryson City this weekend to ride The Polar Express!  It was fun getting into the Christmas spirit!  I have been meaning to do this train ride since Harper was little.  They gave the kids each an entire chocolate bar, hot chocolate and a cookie.  There were a lot of very hyper children on the train.  Alex's parents were supposed to go as well, but unfortunately weren't able to come.  We stayed at a cabin not far from the train station.  It was a great weekend!
   
Waiting for the train!
   
   
The Polar Express! 
   
Our car was ironically named Harper.
    
All aboard!
    
Alex's mom had pre ordered polar bears, fleece blankets and lanyards for the kids on the train.
    
   
   
   
Cheers!
    
   
   
We could see Santa's village at the North Pole!
    
The elves came out to sing and dance as the train rode by.
   
We even had a visit from Santa!
   
  
Ethan was very excited and shouted "Merry Christmas!" as soon as Santa got to our table.  Santa gave the kids sleigh bells to take home.
   
   
   
    
We had the fireplace on the entire weekend.
   
I loved the hot tub.  It had amazing views and a cold breeze as it was right on top of the mountain!
   
     
    
     
This is a view of our cabin from the hot tub.
   
   
   
   
The kids had a great trip.
