Vacation day 1

Well, we are off. Day began with the discovery that the train is running 5 hours  late! How in the world?!?

We left home a little later than planned, deciding to relax a little about our planned 8 am departure. 

The first hour of the trip was spent going through the trip planning books I brought home from work. 

Dizzy decided (with the Boss's help) to pick out the food for the Chicago portion of the trip. Listening to her try and pronounce some of the words entertained us for nearly half an hour.

After four phone calls from Amtrak (2 for the Boss and 2 for Dizzy), I'm beginning to worry about whether or not the rest of us actually have seats!

Fast forward several hours and it's eight at night and we have finally arrived at the train station and they took my bags, so I think we're on our way!

We did get to spend the afternoon with my favorite nephew!

Now to get on the train and get going!

Be Happy! Be Healthy! Be sure to keep a sense of humor!
