Polar Express in Hood River

This past week/weekend we went to Hood River, OR and then onto Sunriver, OR. Conner figured out a new toy while we were packing on Wednesday night! He thought it was quite great. When we got home on Sunday, he immediately climbed into the empty bag and looked at Jay, he was ready to go around again!
Jay tried all his beanies on Conner before deciding which one's to take!

When we got to Hood River we stopped at a coffee shop and had a little snack before we got on the train. Amber and the kids joined us on the train, we had a BLAST!

The train arrived at the depot and Conner got very excited!


We were at the front of the train on the top level, it was great!!! Conner did extremely well considering we had sat in the car most of the day. We had a table to ourselves, it was really nice.




Of course, he loved the whip cream. They served hot chocolate and cookies about half way through the train ride "North" then they read the "Polar Express". When we reached the "North Pole" Santa and the elves got on the train.


Conner made sure he tested every cookie!

Conner did surprisingly well with this Santa. He didn't sit on his lap but he took the bell that Santa gave him and he actually smiled at him. Jay and I were pleased. On the way back to the depot, everyone on the train sang Christmas Carols. We had a wonderful time. After we got off the train we started the 4 hour drive to Sunriver!

If you take Conner again next year, would you let me know when you get your tickets. We would like to take Kylie in the next couple years. It looks like a really cool little trip. So much fun for little man!
