Vacation Day 2: Off the Train in Florida

Well, the Brunos have survived their first train trip...barely! Let's just say Big B and Little B need to occupy a larger space when they're together. LOL! Our sleeper room on the train was actually very nice, with a bathroom and everything, and plenty of storage for our many bags. Still, a tight fit for us.


But we made it through. Our porter, Phred, was a big, friendly guy who helped out with anything we needed. The waiters (?) in the dining car were nice, and the food was pretty good. Just the fact that they had cheesecake won Joe over.

While en route to Florida, we took turns playing games and watching movies on the laptop, playing the DS games, reading, napping, and just generally hanging out. At one point Joe went to the Club Car and spent some time meeting new people. The worst part was trying to sleep last night - Joe and I on the pull-out bed? Not the best experience. Xander loved the top bunk, though, and I'm pretty sure he slept like a log.

We rolled into Delray Beach a little after four this afternoon, and almost immediately upon getting to Mom's we hit the pool. And then it was all we could do to drag Xander back out so we could have dinner. That boy loves to swim.

So right now I'm on Mom's laptop checking my e-mail and updating this page. Xander and Vikki are in the spare room watching SpongeBob - she's his new TV buddy. Joe is watching some TV, at least until he passes out from sheer exhaustion. It's been a really full day, that's for sure.

I'll try to update again tomorrow...I think we're going to the beach. Yay! Stay tuned!
