It seems like I start every post with: We have been SO BUSY lately...but we really have been! Amber, BJ and their baby Tuesday were up here visiting from Oregon! I would have been thrilled to just see Amber, and spend all week at home, but we decided to get out and enjoy Alaska. Today I wanted to tell about our amazing trip to Seward. We took the train out there, which was amazing. Nobody had to drive, and everyone got to relax. The only bad part about the trip is that it began at 5:45 am at the train station. That means we were all up at 4:45....not fun. BUT it was all worth it once the train started. The views were spectacular.
Although she did wake up for some playtime somewhere along the journey. She has just started smiling at me while we play, and I am sure it is on purpose now!
We had quite a bit of time to kill in Seward...something like 5 hours in a pretty, but small and relatively boring town. We took a lot of pictures, walked around with the strollers and had a picnic. 
Doesn't this look like it is from a magazine? We were in one of the rear cars, and caught this picture as the train went around a bend. Honestly I could have stood out and taken pictures continuously for the entire trip.
Chloe also enjoyed the trip, but did not take in much of the scenery. :)

We took a lot of pictures, walked around with the strollers and had a picnic. That left 4 more hours....we took more pictures. Here is a great family photo of Amber BJ and Tuesday.
And a father daughter shot along the shore. It was an incredible day- but deceptively sunny. The only people who didn't get sunburned were the babies. There were well protected with their adorable little sunhats. Also sleepy Chloe spend most of her time snoozing in the stroller or the baby bjorn where the sun couldn't get to her.
It was such a great trip out there. We seem to see the most amazing things when we have visitors. We always talked about taking the train, but probably never would have gotten around to it just for us. Thanks guys! We miss you!

I am just starting to load all of the pictures on the computer. We had a wonderful time and miss you all lots!
Carmen,
Amber & BJ loved their trip. I was lucky enough to pick them up from the airport and heard lots of fun stories. Nice to see pictures of the train trip as I think that was their favorite. I understand Chloe is adorable! We must get up their to visit sometime. You have a beautiful family. Love to all, Julie
We've been anxiously waiting for the next installment in the life of Chloe. We really love the pictures and descriptions. Looks like you all had a good time!
