Trains and Ferries

Jayden loves trains and had been talking about wanting to ride one for awhile. So, while we were staying in Kelso earlier this month, when Royal was here, we decided to take a train ride to get out of the house for a day. Amtrak stops right in Kelso, so we bought some tickets and rode the train to Portland. Jayden loved it! Here we are in the train station in Kelso waiting for the train to arrive.









And here we are in Portland, sitting on a bench right outside the train station with a typical Portlandite - blue hair and all!




On Friday, we decided to make a trip to Seattle to go to the aquarium. Instead of driving though, we got on the ferry in Bremerton and Jayden got to experience his first ferry ride!

The 3 boys weren’t sure what to think when the captain blew the horn!

Into the under water dome!







After the aquarium and before we got back on the ferry to head home, it was time for a carousel ride!







Willow was all worn out

Looks like mass transportation proved worthy of a good time.
