Hi folks. I haven’t posted since May! I’m trying to get into the habit again and I’ve joined the Ultimate Blog Challenge for the month of October. I am trying to use IFTTT to simulcast my Blogger posts but it looks like this one didn’t go through so I’m gonna link it here:

It is the beginning of the story of our recent train trip from the SF Bay Area to Seattle, Washington. Hopefully tomorrow’s post will go through automatically.

Here are a couple of the photos from the first part of the trip. It takes 23 hours to travel from our area to Seattle.

Check out the full story by clicking on the link above. See you tomorrow.
