We went to Washington again.

Bug & I hopped on a train on April 2nd and headed west. We spent a week visiting my sister & her husband and got home on Friday. I seem to have brought a cold with me, so haven't gotten much blogging done.

We got on just in time  to eat dinner, read for a bit, then go to bed. The next day, we took the opportunity to get out and stretch our legs whenever possible. Here she is in Minot ND on this trip and in 2007.

 She also had a quick chat with her dad while in Minot.

We had a small roomette which we enjoyed. Here is Bug outside of the train car. 

We spent some time in the lounge car. Here she is, trying to beat me at Set. 

She also worked on a braided bracelet for herself. It's going slowly, but she seems to enjoy it. Hopefully she'll make more!

We had very tasty (and big) cheeseburgers for lunch. Yum. 

 

 We were able to get out and stretch in Havre, MT.

Here's Bug in Shelby this year and in 2007.

When we first got on the train, these two guys were downstairs. When we went to dinner, we got seated with them. Bug noticed an accent and was confused when they said that they were from Chicago...they're originally from Albania. Their room was a few doors from ours and we chatted often. We all had burgers together for lunch, as well.

This is Sam.

This is Tony. 

At this point, we were nearly to our destination. Everything is packed up and Bug is just waiting to get out.
