To the North Pole and back







Uncle G's Christmas present to our family this year was tickets on the Polar Express (known locally as the Lebanon-Mason Railroad during the other eleven months of the year!) The kids were very excited to go visit Santa's workshop at the North Pole, relieved to learn that they did not have to walk on top of the train in the snow, and just a little disappointed to discover that the hot chocolate servers didn't dance on the ceiling. But the juggling elves, a picture with Santa, and more than a few cookies made the trip worthwhile. We love Uncle G!!!!
And just in case you're ever in our corner of the universe, Lebanon Ohio is a really cute little town if you're into antiques and historical markers! There's a hotel where Henry Clay stayed and all kinds of cool stuff. Who knew? Just goes to show, you don't need to travel across the country or across the world to find new stuff to see and learn. (Of course, the chocolate factory across the street from the train station was our favorite attraction, but hey, we did look at the historical stuff...)
