Last Friday we went downtown to the Amtrack station (didn't even know we had an Amtrack station) to take a look at the Christmas Carol train. From what I saw online, this was supposed to be a behind the scenes look at the new movie coming out in November. The pictures made it look lie an indoor display, so I thought it must be a traveling thing that they set up inside the station. It also mentioned there would be snow. I thought HOW FUN a snow machine! So we loaded up, on a VERY HOT day and headed down. Only to see that really everything was set up inside a traveling train, not the inside of the station. But it was too late to turn around as the kids were already excited to explore. SO we got in a LONG line and waited close to an hour to board the Christmas Carol train. Once inside we saw some really cool stuff, but it was still hot as the train wasn't A/C'd. Only a few fans blowing air, and people were packed in like sardines. When we finished the train we were directed to another line to see the sneak preview of the movie in 3-d. Luckily this line was shorter, and once inside this blow up building it was cooler. The movie looks like it will be pretty good too from the sneak preview. Here is the funniest part though, the "snow" was soap suds blowing up in the air out of a fake chimney looking thing. So much for an ice machine. Although we got very hot, and cranky by the end. I think the kids enjoyed the outing.
