It's Christmas In July

If you're catching a bus or train at the downtown Spokane Intermodal Center today, you may want to arrive early. It's packed down here today, due to the visit of the Disney 'A Christmas Carol Train.'

The SRTC offices are in the Intermodal Center so Jeff Selle and I took the opportunity to tour the train. I know, this is a stretch for the blog, but it's a train so I'm calling it transportation-related.

The train is touring the country to promote Disney's new version of the movie 'A Christmas Carol.' So, the place is overrun with parents and children clamoring to see the show and the parking lot is packed. Personally, I wasn't that impressed and it took forever to get through the train, but the fake feast that Jeff photographed me with was so real looking it made me hungry for turkey and gravy.
