If you have children or grandchildren that enjoy "The Polar Express" as much as our son does, you maybe take short excursions there. We make it out there a couple times a week via the book or the movie, and this is a journey we make year round - not just in December. So this December, we brought in the holiday season with a trip on an actual train. It's a holiday excursion out of the Steam Railroading Institute in Owosso, Michigan.
As you can imagine, it was a huge deal for our train-lovin' son. He really thought we were going to the North Pole. We met the conductor, had hot chocolate, and sat with Santa and Mrs. Claus; there was even a jingle bell waiting on our seats when we returned to the train.
What's not to believe? As the last line of the book reads, "...the bell still rings for me as it does for all who truly believe."
