| Maddy's Golden Ticket |
This Christmas our family took a trip to Hood River to ride the Polar Express train to the North Pole to meet Santa Claus. The excursion mirrored the movie, which we watched together a few days before we headed to Hood River to board the train. The conductor made his way through our car and punched Maddy's Golden Ticket with an "M" for Maddy. We had a wonderful time enjoying hot chocolate and cookies served by waiters in white uniforms, music, the Polar Express story (read by the waitstaff) and watching the scenery go by as we made our way to the North Pole. Our train ride was during the day, so we could see our surroundings, if not the holiday lights. At the North Pole we saw Santa, and he boarded our train with his elves! He spent time with each child and asked what he/she wanted for Christmas. Maddy's answer to his question: "a piggy bank." It was a great way to have some one-on-one time with Santa and enjoy the festivities of the holiday season.
