We had a great trip! The boys spent their time eating, sleeping, reading, driving motorcycles and monster trucks, and watching the scenery zip past!
Beautiful Glacier Park has not seen spring yet!
On the way we saw quite a bit of flooding. There were houses that were completely surrounded by water and cars, trucks, and even a school bus floating. As we were looking out at the destruction, Tristan said, "It's just like Japan!" It wasn't near that bad, but funny he made the connection.
The trip home on the train was a little longer. We were delayed by about 4 hours in Minot, ND. After that we were off schedule, so we kept having to pull over and wait for other trains to pass the other direction. We ended up being 16 hours behind!!!! Yikes! And then they told us that the train was terminating service in Spokane and that we would be bussed the rest of the way! We didn't have anything pressing to get back for, so it wasn't a big deal, just longer than we would have liked. We decided we needed to have a child's perspective. They weren't bothered at all by the long delays. When we told them we were getting off the train and going to get on a bus, they cheered!! Especially when we were each given a box dinner from Subway! They thought it was the best day ever!!! :)
