It's here...the day we have been waiting for!!!!!..... our ride to the North Pole
on the Polar Express!!!!!!
Seriously, this is a BIG DEAL. We are taking the actual Polar Express train all the way to see Santa and his elves at the North Pole - this is crazy!
We got there early and had dinner in old town Sacramento. The boys spotted the train right away at the station so we ran over to get a sneak peek.
"OMG there it is!"
Nate was in awe.
It's go time.
Look at this little elf!
Ready to go in and get our tickets.
We are really here!
Jack on the caboose.
The boys found the "elf car" and didn't waste anytime driving down the tracks.
Family photo with the train.
Making sure he knows how to throw on the breaks - you know, in case one of the kids doesn't get on the train in time.
Granddaddy and Jack.
He discovered his ticket in the pocket of his bathrobe - just like the movie!
Jack with his ticket!
Who let the Elf on the train????
Tickets please!
Singing the Polar Express song.
Just like in the movie, they served hot chocolate and treats!

Hot Chocolate!
and the dancing waiters were here too!!!!
Jack's face pretty much looked like the below pictures through the whole ride....
When the hobo came on board.....
When he heard we were almost at the North Pole.....
WE ARE HERE - THE NORTH POLE -
WE MADE IT!!!!!!
And then...guess who showed up on our train.....
"Really, Santa's coming in here?!?!?!?!"
And here is a series of photos showing the pure joy a 4 year-old experiences when he learns he will meet the actual Santa Clause at the North Pole...
"Is that him?"
"It is him!"
"Here he comes!"
What an experience of a lifetime!
One little elf didn't make it all the way until Santa came on board though...
Guess we'll just have to try again another year!
Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!
