A Train Voyage, The Beach and The Happiest Place on Earth

You may have noted that this blog has been a little quiet for the last several weeks and that is because, as promised, I have been taking advantage of the fact that a.) it is summer and b.) I have yet to find a job that would require a set-in-stone schedule. 
I have lived in a place where there is a train running right through the middle of town for almost 8 years now and have yet to take advantage of that fact!  So, when I made plans to spend some time in Southern California with my friend Matthew, I decided to take the train from Flagstaff, AZ to San Diego, CA.  It was a 15 hour trip and an experience but I actually had fun!  Here are a few pictures of the trip...

 The train arrives!  (11 pm)

Relaxing in the huge Amtrak seats (waaaay more roomy than airplane seats)

After that long train ride we spent a few days basking in the perfect Southern California weather.

And then it was on to one of my all time favorite places in the world- DISNEYLAND!

After this great trip I was home for a day and then was off again- I'll be back with that trip later!
