the golden ticket

I’m a very visual person. I’ve admitted it before and I’ll say it again.
We want to take Caleb on the Polar Express ride this Christmas season. I realized today that we actually have two conceivable options.
Option #1 – 140 miles closer, tickets are more expensive, the train is…well…this:
Option #2 – 140 miles (280 miles round trip further) but the tickets are less expensive and the train looks slightly more authentic.
Am I being too demanding? Apparently, or so my hubby informs me, steam engines aren’t the the big thing anymore? But what about the whistle and all that smoke pouring out? That’s what the Polar Express does. And last time I checked, it ain’t red and yellow. Just ask my equally literal kid which one looks like the Polar Express.
We are even gonna stop on the way home and cut down our own Christmas tree from a tree farm! It’s beginning to feel a lot like Christmas!

I vote on the second

Hmmm, the second one is far cooler, but does the difference in ticket cost outweigh the price of fuel for a drive that far. However, the Christmas tree farm would be a lot of fun for you all. I guess the deciding factor for me would be how Caleb would handle a long day in the car, then on the train then at the tree farm. My vote is for the second if he would be fine with it all. Wow, did you ask for a short novel here? Sorry!

Would the REAL Thomas please stand up?! Is this a rhetorical question? I mean, we all know you’ve already decided.
Can I say, “I wanna go!!!”

Man! you guys are incredible! We just set the trains up in the living room and have our kids “pretend” they are riding on them!
