All Aboard!!











Nikki and I decided to take advantage of the last free day on the new Front Runner.  We got on at the Clearfield station and road it to Ogden.  We froze while we were waiting out on the platform for it but it made it part of the adventure.  The kids were so excited when the train finally pulled up.  It was so full so we had to stand, but luckily we got some nice views out the doors.  When we got to the station we spent some time playing on all of the old trains they had there.  It was fun to explore them and take some snap shots.  After that we went into Union Station and had some lunch.  I had talked to Jeremy on the phone along the way and he surprised us and met us at the station!  We had a wonderful lunch together and then headed back out to the trains to play a little longer until the Front Runner arrived.  The kids loved the adventure.  It all reminded me of living in Germany so I was telling Neeley all about the trains there and how they have dining cars and sleeping cars.  She decided that she wants to live on a train!  We would recommend this adventure to everyone and plan on doing some more train explorations in the near future!  ALL ABOARD??
