For the last several years, Savannah has been fascinated with trains. She has been asking to go on a train for a long time. This year, Santa brought Savannah a train ticket to ride the North Pole Express and one for Tara to go with her. They boarded the train in Heber and rode the train to the "North Pole". They got hot chocolate and souvenir mugs. They also got a visit from Santa.
