Savannah just loves the Polar Express movie that Nana gave her last year. In fact we watch it year round. We had been on a santa train before in Blue Ridge when Savannah was almost 2 but Brooke told us about the Polar Express train in Bryson City, NC. We made the hike on Saturday up to the beautiful mountains. The road was windy but the views were breathtaking of the Nantahala river. People were kayaking in that freezing water...insanity. Savannah was so excited, she chanted "im so happy, im so happy" for the drive...but only when she wasn't watching the Polar Express movie on my iPad.
The train ride was great, from the delicious sweets, to the hot chocolate, to the caroling, it was such a fun Christmas activity. The town of Bryson City is quaint and fun to walk around in. Lots of touristy shops with overpriced wares. Just what you'd expect from a tiny mountain town.We will repeat this next year but perhaps next time we'll rent a cabin a little closer to the train so we can enjoy our day.
Here are some photos from our day!
Savannah and Easton all ready to get dressed in their jammies for the Polar Express train!
Those eyebrows say so much. Love my little boy.
And we are off!
Dancing with the waiters! Yes this lady that we don't know grabbed Easton from Darlene's arms...no I was not comfortable so I got up and followed them...protective momma on the prowl!
Savannah was more into her petite four than she was the photo op
My love bug
HOT CHOCOLATE!
The waiters serving our warm cookies YUM
He got sleepy and cuddled with daddy
Reading along with Mimi to the story.
The North Pole- Look its Santa
Passing out carol song books to the other passengers
