Sarah's first train ride

Last Saturday, Sarah took her first-ever train ride with Daddy and Grampa Gordon so we could visit her great-uncle Arthur, who lives in Indiana and is sick. We took Amtrak's Empire Builder from St. Paul to Chicago, then rented a car and drove the rest of the way to Indianapolis. Here's Sarah, all decked out with her traveling hat and her pink backpack stuffed with toys and goodies.



The Empire Builder was about an hour late that morning, so Sarah and Grandpa had to kill some time.


All aboard!


Sarah was pretty excited during the first part of our trip. Here she is in the observation car, pointing out the spray being kicked up behind the cars driving on the wet road.


"Look, Dad! Lake Pepin!"
