Mount Vernon to Portland

After breakfast, George, Debbie, and I walked down to the lake and back.

Then it was time to pack up to head to the Mount Vernon train station.

Mount Vernon station

Cool stained glass inside the station.

A nearby mural.

It was a full train.

We found some seats and stowed our stuff and then went to the cafe car. 

We managed to play a game of 10, 9, 8.

Some views on the train ride 

We arrived in Seattle.  It was a longer stop.

After Seattle, the cafe car opened up again.  We went for lunch.

Nor an inspiring lunch. We then played another round of 10, 9, 8. By this time we had lost our regular seats so we stayed in the cafe car.

I had wanted to take a picture of Kalama as we passed, but another train was in the way.  

Coming to Oregon.  This is a view of Mt. Hood.

We arrived in PDX

Rebecca met us.  That was unexpected and very nice.

We dropped Nathan off at his place and then we went home.  We started a load of laundry and I finished this blog.  It is good to be home, even though we had a fabulous time.
