Amtrak

Even though we still have another 13 hour train ride back to California, we thought we'd post the pictures of the 13 hour train ride coming to Oregon! All in all, it was a fun experience. Sleeping was a bit difficult, but we survived. Vicodin helped me. :)





Here's just one of the beautiful sights as we rode through Oregon. Jason really loved the mountains.








These were the seats next to us (just to give you an idea of what coach looks like and how we traveled!)








This is the observation car. I'm walking down the isle headed back to our booth we sat at.








As we were sitting in the observation car, the voice over the loudspeaker came on and said, "If any passenger has a Leatherman, could you please come to the last car, #..." Jason's face lit up and off he went. He saved the lives of over 50 passengers by helping open a door that got stuck between cars. Needless to say, he was very proud to live the Scout motto of, "Be Prepared."







We're only about 3 hours away from Portland at this point! YAY! This is still in the observation car.









This is Sarah. We met her in the observation car, and spent 3 hours just talking, joking, and then played a game of 10,000 with her! She's holding a See's sucker that she won from answering a trivia question that the Diner Car lady was asking over the speakers.









Sarah took this picture for us. After traveling for 13 hours and not being able to shower, you start to feel kind of gross. But we're still happy to be together and riding the train!!!









We finally made it! Time for a shower...
