So Heather and I had our trip on the Minnesota Zephyr
a couple of weekends ago. It was a good time. I was
dreading the thought of getting stuck sitting with
another couple but it turned out ok. We ended up
sitting with a nice 30-something couple who were
celebrating their 4th wedding anniversary.
The train ride itself was nice. Although, I must say it wasn't the most scenic ride most of the time. Unless of course you consider golf courses and people's yards scenic. Actually some of it was very nice, tree and such. And now that i think of it, i do find golf course scenic. There was one that was really nice. Now if I could just golf decently.
Anyway the real treat was the meal. You certainly don't starve and it's very good. My favorite part of the meal was of course the slab of cheesecake for dessert. Heather's favorite park was getting to see the engine. Well more specifically, she got to blow the whistle. Pretty much made her trip right there.
So I would definitely recommend going. But go with another couple. Otherwise you roll the dice on who sits with you.
