two trains home

So our return trip was an even bigger success.  The main reason?  We had soft sleeper tickets.  And let-me-tell-you, it's a game changer!

A few pics from the journey....

John Paul working hard to shoulder Matt's bag.


I really like this picture of Luke reaching out to hold his Daddy's hand.  This is boarding the bullet train - you can see the station is soooooo nice!  New train stations here are just beautiful.  The old train stations are, ummmm, not so beautiful!


Matt's carrying a week's worth of laundry and all sorts of other stuff too.  His pack is bigger than Luke :)  Luke is carrying a half-eaten pack of Mentos and his water bottle.  When he gets tired of his load I tie his bag onto Matt's.

It's good to be 3.  And it's good to be the Daddy of a 3 year old.

The bullet train is a smooth ride.  The seats are roomy, the aisles provide plenty of room to roam.


Isaac and the big sisters did a lot of reading.


And here's Mom and Dad, big smiles, ready to board the night train home.


Great trip, and good to be home too.

Your trip looks amazing! What a fun thing to be able to do. And even better to be able to travel with 2 more adults!
