North Pole, AK

After a short drive from Fairbanks, we arrived in North Pole, AK on Wednesday, July 30th and checked into the Santaland RV Park.





This park is associated with the Santa Claus House where Santa lives, which is next door. Everything is decorated on the Christmas theme - obviously.





We visited the Santa Claus House and Santa and Mrs. Claus (her name is Merry) were home, greeting and talking to all the kids - young and old!



Outside was the big pen where Santa keeps the reindeer. We found out that Rudolph’s nose is only red on Christmas Eve - has to do with the reindeer feed. Santa feeds him a special meal for Christmas Eve which turns Rudolph’s nose red.





The whole town is in the Christmas spirit - a lot of the businesses have some type of Christmas decoration.




After three nights here we’ll be on the road again tomorrow.
