A Holiday Tradition for Two, Now for Three

Aden's been anxious to show Aaron the holiday train display at Shutters hotel. Before Aaron was born, we lived in Santa Monica and would drop by during our holiday walks and runs to view it.

Last year, Aaron was too little to care for it. But now, he's really into Thomas & Friends so we knew he'd love it.
Not only did Aaron enjoy the trains, but he loved the free egg nog, apple cider and cookies (uh, who wouldn't?).

We weren't expecting the freebies so it made my $10 tea more than worth it.

This is the amazing view from Shutters.

If you find yourself in Santa Monica this month, be sure to stick around for the 4:30 sunset.
