With the anticipation of Spring right around the corner and our 75 degree weather today, I am going to bring your thoughts back to the snow filled days of December! I can just hear the glee and happiness radiating from the other side of the computer screen. So, before you get too excited about the snowy pictures, I warn you now, the pictures aren't really about the snow. Granted, there is snow in the pictures, but it's not the main subject!
The Polar Express-Durango, Colorado
It's a train ride for all ages! At least I enjoyed myself. The ride is based from the book/movie "Polar Express." The kids (myself included) dress in the pajamas and board the train for some hot coco and a cookie, a little story telling, some dancing and singing, and of course...Santa Claus! The entire ride takes about an hour and was worth the 5-7 hour drive!
As we were anxiously waiting on the loading dock we heard a loud toot and saw dark smoke billowing in the air! (poor description of a gigantic train, but I just wanted to say "toot" rather than "choo choo") The train came bounding down the track as all the kids began to jump up and down( And no, I wasn't jumping up and down! What do you take me for, a little kid? sheesh )
I achieved this picture by going out the enter-"no exit door!" Did I ever tell you I'm cixelsyd...sorry, I mean dyslexic? The guard on the other side of the door was nice and understanding, so he let me get close enough to take a picture of the train docking.
It was a fun trip and think it will be fun to take the nephew there when he's older! I have more pictures of the trip, but who wants to see grown adults and young children leaping and bounding over a human on the ground as they jump from bed to bed in a motel room?
