We surprised the kiddos with a trip to Bryson City for a ride on the Polar Express, a few days of R&R, and snow tubing. We accomplished everything we set out for...except the snow tubing. It seems there is no snow to be found (or even made) with the warm temperatures that NC has been producing. Nevertheless, the Polar Express was an awesome adventure that did not disappoint, and our quiet time spent in the solitude of the Great Smokey Mountains just playing games and enjoying each others company made for a fantastic family get away. We returned home just in time to ring in the New Year with Red Robin and lots of confetti!
