To the Trains!

We were all surprised when a limo picked us up the next morning at 5:30 to take us to the train station.  We were told a shuttle would be provided, so this was an added bonus for us and another new experience! 

We boarded the trains for a six hour train ride.  It was beautiful and so fun.  This might have been one of our favorite parts (although I may have already said that about something else!). 

We were even served breakfast in the dining car!

The kids humored me by wearing these shirts.  This is how we told them we were taking a trip to Alaska before the trip- by handing them each a shirt with two letters on it. They then had to try and figure out why.  One of them thought we were getting a dog and tried to spell out some sort of dog name.  :) 

The observation deck was a big hit with the kids.  They wanted to spend a lot of time out there. 

Beautiful Alaskan scenery and several bald eagles!
