Earlier this year, Ben's best friend from school Freya's mom asked if we would be interested in taking the train up to Vancouver with them for the weekend! She had heard about a few Christmas events going on in December and thought it was be a fun trip for them to take together :)
It was Ben's first train ride - and I must say, train travel is the way to GO. So much more enjoyable thank being stuck in a car for a few hours.
On the first night, we went to an event called "Enchant", which apparently is the biggest Christmas light maze in the world (or so they said).
Before we went in the maze, they got matching face paint:
The only bummer about the evening was that it was super rainy, and once the kids had eaten the treats we bought them, they were DONE being cold and wet.
We decided to go back to the hotel and hang out in their room for a bit. We had bought them matching jammies, which was obviously a big hit :)
The next morning after grabbing breakfast, we walked down to the waterfront to go to a German Christmas Market. On the way, we stopped at the convention center to ride on "Flyin' Over Canada", which is essentially "Soarin' over the World" at Disneyland, except, well, Canadian destinations. It had a Christmas spin to it, where at the end it visited the North Pole, and you got to see all of the Elves working and it was super adorable.
The Christmas Market had a carousal:
And cookies:
It was a fun way to spend the weekend and get into the holiday spirit!
