One train down, one to go!

We'll we pulled into Union Station right on time after riding right past US Cellular Field! Andy was a real trooper walking in between two loud, smelly locomotives while pulling his suitcase and carrying his fun bag. A super kind ticket agent checked our suitcases and gave us all the information we needed about the Food Court and First Class Lounge. The latter is the bomb and where I am blogging from right now. It is the Disney World of waiting train waiting rooms: couches, carpet, free pop and muffins, and clean restrooms. We also get to check our backpacks in a coat room wIth a security guard. It made going up to the Food Court for brunch (and blessed coffee) a lot easier.
Here's the kicker: The grandma on the couch next to us is LUTHERAN. Her children and grandchildren are all Lutheran teachers! It's a small, small world!
