My then 2-year old and I almost took an all day train trip to see my parents when I was pregnant with #2, but when we got to the station, the train was running 8 hours late, so we cancelled the whole trip. <BR/><BR/>Also, funny that there were two Dennises. We had a cat named Dennis for a while and now find the name hilarious.RookieMom Whitneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09546070300244047533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5906209974269076373.post-34214141814967133422008-09-20T08:06:00.000-05:002008-09-20T08:06:00.000-05:00Cool!Cool!Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04647975637268895019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5906209974269076373.post-86629396164051351622008-09-19T17:36:00.000-05:002008-09-19T17:36:00.000-05:00Your talk of trains reminds me how much I used to ...Your talk of trains reminds me how much I used to love taking the train between Boston and NY (and goodness knows I made that trip many times). Pete and I keep talking about a trip to Chicago and now you've got me thinking we should look into the train... plus, I like looking at the cows too!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5906209974269076373.post-81480571956615403862008-09-19T14:33:00.000-05:002008-09-19T14:33:00.000-05:00We took a trip to Montana this summer and had a gr...We took a trip to Montana this summer and had a great time with our 7, 3 and 1 year old. Already booked our family room for next August (yes there is only one per train car and they go fast.). It was a 24 hour ride and the meals broke up the routine (ND can be pretty flat). Would recommend it to all. Beats driving or flying!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5906209974269076373.post-67645453900693559862008-09-19T08:22:00.000-05:002008-09-19T08:22:00.000-05:00I love trains, too, and take them pretty much when...I love trains, too, and take them pretty much whenever I'd be driving more than three hours. The only family holiday trip we've taken was to the east coast (26 hours, two trains) -- and we did it sitting up. "We" being my husband and I, and my three kids, then 13, 9, and 6.<BR/><BR/>We all survived, and the kids were great, but if and when we take such a long family trip again, we are absolutely getting berths!<BR/><BR/>TOTALLY with you on the "pee con". Now imagine foolishly heading to the toilet in your SOCK FEET.<BR/><BR/>Ugh. Lesson learned...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
