Polar Express

During Thanksgiving, 2014, we took a family adventure. We went to Williams, Az The North Pole. We drove to Williams, Az, then boarded the Polar Express train to the North Pole. There, Santa hopped on our train and hitched a ride back to Williams. This town of Williams could very well be the town that served as the inspiration to the movie Cars. Set along historic Route 66, it was 'bypassed' when Interstate 40 was built. The town has bounced back nicely, remaking itself as the 'Gateway to the Grand Canyon'. It certainly has retained it's nostalgic feel, albeit with modern, tourist-trap food prices. Another memorable highlight for Da Boys was Bearizona. It is an animal habitat which you can drive your vehicle through. It affords a close up view of lots of animal species that you rarely get this close to. The last destination of our trip was the Grand Canyon. While too young to hike the canyon, Da Boys did manage a short, scenic walk along the South Rim.
