You'll be surprised later on at what they remember about this trip, though. My boys constantly surprise me with details they remember about trips we took when they were small when I was sure they weren't paying attention.MsCarolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03623997911568143459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7290395635850697105.post-10039014485890553962013-08-11T08:55:07.100-04:002013-08-11T08:55:07.100-04:00Fantastic trip - I love train journeys.

People that I'd be mad not to fly but I loved the sense of distance you get when travelling by train.

But it came through at 3.00am, in either direction, which put me off (and it was expensive).<br /><br />You're having such a great ending to your time in the US.

So many times I've heard myself saying on various trips: 'But look at the view, isn't it amazing?' and the kids glancing up and going, 'Meh' or possibly just to appease me, 'Yeah, awesome mom' and then they return to their killing of pigs in angry birds. Glad you enjoyed it though!Melissahttp://talkaboutyork.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
