We were able to witness one of the most beautiful sights last Sunday when we drove 2 hours north of Spokane to catch the "Fall Train Tour" from Ione to Metaline Falls, Wa. This was a fun day and a good end to Audriana's birthday weekend. The Bennett's, Aunt Kristi, Eileen and Cheyenne came with us. It could not have been a more perfect Fall day -- crisp, cold, clear, sunny, and cold (did I already say cold?). We boarded the antinque train cars a bit late because I thought the train left at 11:30am, but it actually left at 11am, so we got up there just in the nick of time. Whew! We reallly wanted to sit in the "open air" cars, but they were full -- Kristi was thrilled and led us into the warm, covered cars where we sat in first class comfort. It worked out really well. We all had a great time viewing the scenery. Here are some pictures of the trip.
The train stopped half way through the trip and we were "robbed" by these bandits that boarded the train and took our money!
After the train ride, we decided to stop at a local park to have some snacks that we had packed and let the kids run around and play before we got back on the road to Spokane.
