Vacation 2008 - West Coast


2008 is the year that Zoe and I decided to visit some family in Portland, OR.
A drive down the coast and a stay in San Francisco completed the trip.


Our ride has arrived-

Choo Choo cometh 


We took an Amtrak sleeper for the trip out (something I always wanted to do).
Here, Zoe gets settled into our room


Bedroom on wheels



 The train makes quite a few stops, but most are just quick enough to jump on or off.
Here we stop in Minneapolis, MN for a half hour or so.  One of 4-5 longer stops.
After this stop the train stayed about full for the entire trip.

All Aboard






A newspaper slipped under the door in the morning, coffee and drinks always available
down the hall and white linen dining up a few cars with America sliding by the
 window made for a great trip.
