25th Wedding Anniversary Celebration

What better way for Bob and I to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary than to travel in search of adventures aboard Amtrak and in the twelve cities we will visit this summer.

For our 20th year of marriage we flew to Alaska (trip was in 2004 a year early, but who is counting). Working, flying and exploring throughout Alaska for five months has been a shining example of what our relationship means to each of us.

We are feeling the same sense of excitement as we plan and anticipate our train trip - not knowing what we will find, who we will meet, and how we will be surprised are gifts enough for our 25th year.

Throw Bobby From The Train

Bob vetoed Throw Bobby From the Train as the title for my blog. Maybe he would vote for Throw Brenda From the Train, soon. As we cruised across Nevada this afternoon, we felt the symptoms of 'get homeitis' spread through our bones. There is nothing like the wide, far away horizons of the West as thunderstorms roll ahead of us. Tomorrow we will be home after 7 1/2 months away. Bob calculated that fuel costs for the round trip is about $800 - about 2 months worth of heating our place in Wyoming. We met at least five freight trains chugging their way east or west today, and imagined sitting back and watching rvs, trucks, and cars race on the Interstate soon.
