We are back from a long weekend in Chicago. We went by train, because the Bunny loves trains. Turns out, we all love them. What a great way to travel! It took eight hours from Saint Paul to downtown Chicago, which is what it takes to drive there--with none of the hassle, tiredness, or bad food that comes with a car trip. Restrooms are always available, and they're so tiny and cute! We ate in the dining car, and had lovely meals. Dinner was excellent, far better than the HoJos on the tollways. Naps were had, kids could walk up to the loounge car for snacks, or just to stretch their legs.
We are dreaming of a longer trip, now. One that requires a sleeper car. Glacier Park is potentially do-able: board at 10:30 at night, arrive the next day at dinner time. And no one is pissed of because SOMEONE can't read a map...
AMTRAK--thousands of marriages saved! Why not yours?
