Vacation Planning

Much of my time since Sunday has been dedicated to searching online and making plans for our family to take a vacation this summer to Glacier National Park. We're planning to take the Amtrak train there and back, staying at one of the lodges in the park, something Josh has wanted to do almost as long as I've known him.

We were planning on doing a big family vacation next summer anyway, maybe to Niagara Falls. Then other day Josh (originally from WA state) mentioned how he missed the mountains. That set in motion the idea of actually going to Glacier and not just saying "someday", searching the internet for hotels, fares, etc., and now we're almost set to make our reservations! Just a couple more things need to be taken care of first.

The kids are really excited and love the idea of taking the train even though they know it's going to be a long ride. To tell the truth, Josh and I are excited, too!

  3. You are going to have so much fun! We're taking the train from Albuquerque to Chicago next month...I'll let you know how it goes! :) You need to find Henkel Mountain when you are in Glacier--it really exists!
