Mason is going to Canada...

...or so he thinks. My adorable little goofball is already packing and planning for the Canadian vacation he thinks he's going to win this summer. A few weeks ago, I entered a contest offered by a train magazine for an 8-day vacation on the exact same train that Mason has watched hundreds of times on The Big Train Trip DVD. He already knows all the towns between Toronto and Vancouver where the train stops. How many 5-year-olds do you know that obsess for years about taking a trip to Canada to ride the train? I only know one, and it will be nothing short of a miracle if that boy wins the trip he's already claimed for his own.
