AW - shopgirl and my kids on the Polar Express (PsIP)

Shopgirl and I took the kids (with my DH) on the North Pole Express (like the Polar Express) tonight.  They loved it!!  I thought their eyes were going to bug out of their sockets when they saw the snow!  (We live in Texas so seeing snow falling (even from snow machines was fun for them.)  My DS love love loves trains right now so he kept saying "Ride Choo Choo!!"  All of the kids were so excited to see Santa and go on the train in their PJs and everything.  I'm so glad she invited us.  Smile

    Andys - It's in Grapevine - near Dallas/Fort Worth.  And Texas still intimidates me too.  I'm getting better, but everything is far away.  I could drive for two or three days in some directions and still be in Texas.  Ugh.

    It's in Grapevine, Tx (around the DFW metroplex, well technically between) which is probably 2-3 hours from you.  My dad used to be stationed in Ft Hood.  I drove about the same distance (opp way) tho.  It's not bad...did it alone with my 3 though waiting for the show to start (DS2 was getting very impatient!!)

    I live less than 5 minutes from Great Wolf and pass it almost every day on my way to my studio or to drop the kids at preschool or whatever. 

    Anyway - website is https://www.grapevinetexasusa.com/

    shop drove at least 2 hours down and is coming down again next weekend to fly out of DFW (and leave a car here with me).  It's not an awful drive.  I've driven up to her a few times, to Houston (4-5 hours) and to San Antonio (5 hours) a bunch alone and with DH.  It's never fun with a road trip with kids, but all doable.

    Adorable.

    We did the Polar Express here a few years ago and the kids loved it. Unfortunately, our snow is always the real kind.

    So  adorable!!, we went to grapevine a little over a month ago and stayed at the Great Wolf Lodge, and loved it. We're doing the polar express on the 20th, but the one in Palestine TX, the kids have no idea, we won't tell them until we get there DS! will be so excited, the polar express is his favorite in the whole world.
