Day 78

Sunday, November 28, 2010

Jack woke up happy and early, so we played in the room until Grandmama had finished getting ready and we checked out and went back to breakfast at Panera Bread.  I really wanted to go to some of the touristy spots but we ended up going to Walmart again.  :/  We did get to have Jack's photos taken with a real reindeer in the parking lot though!  That was pretty cool!  Afterward, we went to eat at Steak & Shake and then checked in at the Branson Scenic Railway to ride the Polar Express!!!  Jack wore his pjs and had the most marvelous time running around with all of the kids.  I bought him a special golden ticket and a t-shirt and Grandmama bought him a train.  Finally, we boarded and had a seat on the Silver Chef car.  The train started moving and they read the Polar Express story from the book and they brought hot cocoa and cookies.  Jack just didn't know what to think!  He was kind of solomn but I have learned that means he is just taking things in.  Soon, the train made it to the "North Pole" and Santa and Mrs. Claus boarded and gave all of the kids a bell -- just like in the movie!  Jack was super-excited about that.  He stopped and talked to Jack for quite a while and Jack thought that was so neat.   After the train ride, it was time to head home!

On the way home, Jack fell asleep after about 15 minutes and slept almost the whole darn way!  He didn't wake up again until we were in Conway!  The trip home was much faster, thanks to me driving a bit over the speed limit.  But not too much. ;)

It was SUCH a fun trip and I am surely planning on doing it again next year!
