Train from Dallas to Bloomington, Ill
March 28, 2021 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 70 °F
Glenn left at 5:00am with Lucy and Elizabeth heading to Fisher, Illinois. A 14 hour drive and he made it in 15 hours. Not bad.

On the other hand, 8 year old Emily and I left Dallas at 5:30 and we are also headed home on the TRAIN!

We went to Walmart and stocked up on chips, candy, cuties and other munchies. I figure if I am eating or drinking, then I don’t have to wear a mask.

Emily was super excited about the train adventure. We mentioned it to several folks at church.Read more

Day 2 Train Ride
March 29, 2021 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 41 °F
We slept most of the night. I remember waking up in Little Rock, Arkansas and it was 12:30am

I don’t remember ever stopping for long periods of time.

It was a beautiful sunrise as we were skirting along the banks of the Mississippi River.

We added an additional car in St. Louis and added some more time to the already delayed train.

We had an excellent view of the Arch while crossing into Illinois.Read more
TravelerI remember riding to the top of the Arch when I was young, and again with Julianna awhile back

Happy Birthday Elizabeth
March 30, 2021 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 64 °F
She turns 4. And she was so excited!

Glenn and I took her to get a “Happy Meal”. Too bad there was no inside dining option in this part of the state.

Glenn had a zoom call during the afternoon and later we had a birthday party at the nature reserve nearby!

Elizabeth got an electric toothbrush. So goes running into the bathroom to brush her teeth and 30 seconds later runs out holding the vibrating toothbrush in her hands exclaiming, “it won’t go off, it won’t go off!”

On Monday when we arrived off the train, we had a delicious lunch at Scott and Carol’s!

Breakfast with David! He’ll be 10 years old this summer.Read more
