Our trip week 1

I have lots of photo’s to upload to the blog now that we are home. So much so that I have been dragging my feet on doing so. However I finally got them all uploaded on to the computer so here is week 1 July 16 – 24.

This is Max hugging Lewis on July 16 in the car.

July 18 – All of us on the first train, a commuter train to NYC.

Max slept all the way to New York.

We had lunch at Penn Station in NY. This is Max at the restaurant.

This is Max playing in our cabin but a view from the hall to our cabin.

This is our train at a stop.

I can’t remember what river this is but it is in Montana.

This is the Issac Walton Inn (in Glacier National Forest).

A river in Glacier National Forest… I took a ton of video of Glacier but I can’t upload that so sadly I can’t post it. This part of the trip was AMAZING.

The Belton Chalet… also in Glacier National Forest.

July 21 –
Max looking out the window.

This is the train after the split that occurs in Spokane, Washington.

This is the eastern part of the Columbia River Gorge in Washington State, looking at Oregon.

This is Mount Hood.

More of the Gorge.


My cousin has a house that backs up to the railroad tracks. I have never been to her house but my mom has. Well we were going about 80 mph at this point and I amazingly got this photo even though my mom said that this was her house after we passed it.

Max and I about to get off the train.

Max and I were picked up by my father and my two sisters. We went to a park after they got us. This is Max on the swing.

Then we went to a restaurant that is only in that area. Max had Walla Walla onion rings (minus the batter) for the first time. He thought it was tasty. Here he is enjoying them.

This is Max playing with Grandma’s dog Lucy.

July 22 – Max in the car…

July 23 – Max playing in the pack and play.
