Thanksgiving update.....

Well - it was definitely an adventure. We took a 36 hours train ride to Seattle for Thanksgiving this year! Packed up the family - brought along the in-laws and Brother in law & Girlfriend too! The best thing I can sum the trip up by saying is.....it was very Gwiswald like! We had fun but there were many adventures and stories along the way! Here is a sampling of the fun times

Ready for the adventure to begin...at the Anaheim Train Station

Tim...working on the train


Tim, Megan, Pat & Ivonne having breakfast on the train after a semi good nights sleep

The Whole family!
Can't go all the way to Seattle and not get to stop in the rain puddles! The kids had a blast getting soaked after Thanksgiving dinner.

Off to the Duck....super fun sight seeing tour around Seattle. It goes from land to water!

The last morning in Seattle....bye bye hotel! Time for the train again!
This was the view we saw for hours during the DRIVE home! Yes - I said DRIVE! Just outside of Oakland our train was evacuated for possible Ecoli in the water system! Fun huh? So instead of waiting around all day and being shuffled all over via train and bus, we rented a car and drove! It took us 8 1/2 hours to get home! Boy was is great to be home!
