  • You Can Love the Art and Strongly Dislike the Artist

    Day 4 – Monday, December 20, 2021 Since the train to Seattle wouldn’t leave until about 4 p.m., we decided to leave our bags with the bell desk again, get some breakfast, and wander for a few hours before heading to the train station. We ended up at the Corner Bakery, using that coupon, before…

    Day 3 – Sunday, December 19, 2021 We woke up fairly early—around 6:45 or so. Breakfast was supposed to be served beginning about 6:30, so we went ahead and got dressed so we could head up to breakfast at about 7. We saw Carla on our way upstairs (yes! This was a two-story train!) and…

  • A Three Hour Tour

    Day 1 – Friday, December 17, 2021 Our day only really began when the Lyft driver picked us up a few minutes after 3:30 in the morning. Not that we weren’t already awake and making sure we had everything. In fact, neither of us had actually gone to bed on Thursday night. I had finished…

About the Blog

A collection of our thoughts and photos from our travels. Travelling is one of our favorite things and we do it as much as we can. We needed a place to collect everything about our trips and figured a blog would help us share with our friends and family as well.
