Come on ride the train!

Recently, K had a birthday.  He's the big 32 now.  But he doesn't look a day over 31, does he?  :)


To celebrate, we took a Santa Fe Railroad train ride from Santa Fe to the Galisteo Basin.  We've been meaning to do it for a while because it looks so cool.  They have two coach cars that are old wooden passenger cars from the 20's.  There is also a "silver" class car that was built in the 50's.  We took the silver class car because we're high rollers.  Apparently, the silver car was once Liz Taylor's.  
Separating the cars is a flat, open car for people to observe the scenery and wave to passers-by.
Here's Kev on the flat car:


Now, here's me:

You can see the bright yellow engine car.  This was taken near the Galisteo Basin.  It was a beautiful day for a train ride.
I packed a lunch for us to eat on the train as the ride took a little over two hours.  Onlooking passengers were quite jealous of our vittles, considering that the bar on the train only sold Cheetos and Funyons.

It was pretty darned fun.

    Dear Christina,

    You and Kevin have sure had a busy couple months...and I see you every week, but didn't realize it all till I read your great blog. You just seem to effortlessly float through it all.

    Vegas, the new house and now Frank the Tank.

    Their new house to everyone who hasn't seen it, which is everyone but us, it a fabulous find and sooo beautiful and roomy. They did a super job in finding it and now personalizing it. They're go clever!!!

    Love,
    Adrienne
