We drove to Hood River Oregon, with Noni and Papa, and caught a ride on the Polar Express. Gavin has been a fan of the movie ALL YEAR. He chatted the whole way up about how we were going to go see the MAGIC TRAIN. When we stopped in Woodburn to put the kids jammies on, Gavin had a mild meltdown. Papa was able to decipher for us, Gavin thought we were trying to put him to bed and that he wasn't going to see the MAGIC TRAIN. Assurances made, jammies on, and off we went. The MAGIC TRAIN did not disappoint. Gavin & Emilia could not have been more enchanted by the experience. Emilia was very proud of her ticket and figured out how to say the word ticket for the occasion. Conductor, hot chocolate, cookies, chefs, story readings, music playing, north pole, elves, singing, SANTA, bells.
