March 26, 2012. Canyon Lake, Texas. The Train Trip

David and Suzanne always plan a trip right after school has been let out for the season.  It has been an RV trip.  Everyone has loved it.  For one full week, the whole family was together, in an enclosed space, going places they have never visited before.  They visited Big Bend one year. Another time they drove to Galveston and on to Jackson.  Last year they went to see the Palo Duro Canyon.    But this year they have planned a journey that makes me green with envy.

They are taking the train from San Antonio to Chicago, spending four days right downtown, then taking the train back home.   No one has ever been to Chicago before.  They have tickets to a Cubs game.

The train accommodations will prove interesting.  They are a family of 6 so need multiple little rooms.  It all sounds wonderful but I know they will be crowded.  But they will be together, going to a place they have never been before.  And they leave right at the end of school.  It should be interesting to see if they ever take another train trip.
