I just returned from a weekend getaway with our 8 year old involving a ride on the "Polar Express" courtesy of SRI. It was fantastic! I can't say enough good things about all involved, from the engineer,fireman, conductor etc right down to the folks serving the cocoa. Almost forgot about the "hobo" he was great as well with a striking resemblence to the one in the movie.

Here are a few of my amateur photos from my old and tired digital camera:

Even the guy with this pickup added something special!

Looks like it was a really well done evening.

I'm hoping we can get up to Owosso next summer for the big event. You couldn't ask for a nicer bunch of people.
