My son and I got to take a train ride today. The Union Pacific, my favorite railroad, hosted a free trip on their Safety Train. Even though I am extremely familiar with trains, I actually learned a couple things. It was informative and fun.
This post has nothing to do with food, diet, exercise, but it lifted my spirits considerably! My son enjoyed it, too.
My dad worked for the Union Pacific for over 40 years. When I was a kid, I took a lot of train rides. As an adult, I've taken a few, too. Amtrak is great, but it isn't nearly as fun as the old-fashioned cars that we rode on today. The smell, the rocking, the whistles...took me back to my childhood. I remembered my dad during the entire trip.
Here are some pictures. Isn't it amazing how much my son looks like me?
It is amazing the facial resemblance! Glad you had fun. Very wholesome!
