How was the Polar Express? Did you think that Eli was old enough to appreciate it?

Re: **SBTibbs**
It was fun! First of all he thought it was great that he was outside in his pjs! The actual ride was pretty short (30 min or so). There was enough action and distraction to keep him entertained. After a few minutes you stop and pick up the "elves" who pass out cookies and hot cocoa. He LOVED that part, of course. Then they sing songs and have you look out the window to watch for Santa as you approach the "North Pole." Once you get there Santa gets on and goes down the aisle talking to each kid. He is just starting to get the idea of Santa, so he was totaly mezmorized by him. Santa shook his hand and said he knew he had been a good boy then touched his nose. After Santa moved on Eli kept staring at his hand and touching his nose in total amazement. It was adorable. Then they passed out a bell to each kid, so shaking that was enterinament for the ride back. I think you can go inside the building after and get your picture taken with Santa, but we skipped that part.
I have heard that other Polar Expresses, like the one in North Conway, are much longer and more involved, so I think that would have been too much. We went on the 4pm one so the tickets were cheaper ($15ea) and kids 2 and under are free so, I think it was worth what we paid. Plus we went to Flatbread for dinner after- YUM!
Yes. It has been so popular since year #2 that they have to do it that way. If your ILs live in the valley, have them put in for it as well since there is a local lottery. You'll be more likely to get tickets.
If you do go next year, definitely remember to tell me the details and talk to me first before you get on the train.
