All Aboard!

This past Saturday we took the boys on a train ride. I have been wanting to do this with Pierce for some time and was too late back in the spring. So, when I saw the flyer for this fall train ride, we decided to go for it. We bought our tickets way back during the summer and picked the very last date they were offering...wanting to make sure that the baby was as old as possible. At the time, I thought that he was going to come earlier and would have been older than just shy of 3 weeks, but I was wrong!

We had to be up and at 'em early in order to make the 45 minute drive and be there 45 minutes before departure (9:30) to get decent seats. Even getting there that early, we stood in a long line and didn't get the *best* seats, but we made do. Unfortunately, we had seats that were back-to-back, but I had 2 seats to myself and the baby (even though we hadn't paid for that extra seat). That made nursing easier and I had enough room for our stuff and the baby carrier.

Boy, do I look tired!

Snug as a bug in a rug. Reid slept for about the first hour and did very well overall.

The scenery was beautiful!

I feel like I was pretty useless on the trip as I didn't move from my seat at all and just tended to Reid. Back when we booked the trip, we talked about just Shaun and Pierce going, but Shaun felt like he wanted us all to go. It went well and I'm glad that we got to do this as a family. And the kids and I took great naps on Saturday afternoon! :)
