I know I haven't been good at updating this . . . but I'd like to be better.
I can't go back and catch up - so I'm going to start at the end of this summer with our Amtrak train adventure, home from 3 weeks in Colorado!!!
Our train started in California and was headed to Chicago.
Kids were very excited to be on the top of the double decker train!
We got on the train in Denver about 7 pm . . . after eating our sack dinner and some exploring, we laid back our seats, put out the leg rests and foot rests and went to sleep.
We splurged and ate breakfast in the dining car for the experience! B and Z got the best deal - the kids meal of eggs, bacon, potatoes, and a croissant for $4. (They brought Z a biscuit - so he got both!)
Ak really wanted french toast -- so we paid $5 for her . . . it turned out to be ONE piece?!?! But she said it was the "best french toast ever!" GOOD!
In Iowa - they told us we could go outside for a 7 minute stretch break . . . Ak was so nervous they were going to leave us. :)
We didn't have any ear phones - but the kids were able to watch a movie together.
Found the observation car. Played Cards. Read from "Wonder".
We got to Chicago around 2 pm. We found some Pizza!
Then back on a train (not as nice) for our last leg . . .
We arrived in Indianapolis around 11 pm and were excited to see Daddy! and AJ!!!
Other than not being with David, we had a great time in Colorado!!!
