Joyful memories this Christmas as we were able to enjoy another event that we had wanted to go to - he Holiday Train!
We first heard about this train that travels around during the holiday season last year but by the time we heard about it the train was long gone.
This year we strategically planned how we would see it
with three people at work and one in college.
The train would be stopping near our home but that would be too early.
My oldest did see it as he passed the train's stop.
What we decided would work best was to miss a couple closer stops
and head up Saratoga Springs.
The traffic was slow around the train station
but it was totally worth it!
Even stuck in slow-moving traffic we were still on time
considering the train was delayed.
As we were approaching the parking lot
we could hear the horn of the approaching train.
They had a car that opened to a stage
(for my hometown people think the ShowWagon but mechanical).
The band was festive and very good but we weren't there for the band.
We're thinking that maybe next year we might ride the train.
Of course with three of us fascinated with how things work we had to do a closer inspection of the mechanics of the lights on the cars.
Have a Very Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year!!
