Sean picked me up from work on Friday afternoon with these in hand below.......
Two train tickets for us to travel down to Vancouver, WA by train and stay the night at a Lodge. This was our very last Friday evening to be alone, just the two of us before Sean deploys to Iraq for a year! It was so sweet for Sean to plan a surprise knowing that Jonathan had a sleep over & that next weekend we have out of town guest coming. So, off we went with a bag in tow to the train station, just less than a mile from our subdivision so we decided to stroll over there.
The Olympia Amtrak Train Station
All Aboard!!!!!
The great thing about riding on the train rather than driving, was that we could both read & relax. It was so, so, nice! Our very first weekend date together consisted of Sean booking us train tickets for a weekend in Seattle! He told me we were going to take the train to Seattle and stay at a dive Motel and venture the City. When actually he booked the absolute nicest Hotel that Seattle has to offer, the Grand Olympic Hotel and we toured the entire city that weekend. Brought back many great memories! He is such a Romantic!!!!
The Vancouver Train Station
Which way shall we go?? I think that riding the train has become one of America's many past times. The Dinner & Mystery Trains here in WA have been shut down due to lack of interest! It's surprising too considering for a short distant trip, it's almost the same price to travel on the train as it is to fill up our gas guzzlers!
Sean passing the time waiting for our return by reading a book
Seannie, Seannie whatcha doin???
And oh my dear Lord, our return train had the strongest, must repulsive MILDEW SMELL EVER!! Now, I'm thinking who cares about these trains, should have drove the car so that I could breath and stop gagging! It was like being in the Oldest Antique Shop & Multiply that smell by a Trillion!!! Sean has something wrong with his snout, he was just laughing at me!!! I rode the entire way with Sean's hat covering my nose ;)
