We had this idea that we would drive over the canyon. Get on the Front Runner (train that goes from Ogden to Salt Lake City) and go see the lights at Temple Square. Sure we could just drive down there and it would be a lot faster, but where's the adventure in that?! Besides, the boy Owen is such a boy and loves all boy things we knew he would love riding this train. We wanted to go a couple days before Christmas so we could really feel the Christmas spirit. Owen was sick then, so we opted for the Monday after Christmas. We tried to research all that we could about the train. But there just wasn't much to find out. So, we went down to Ogden. Got on the stop closest to us. (futherest north) We basically had no idea what we were doing, but ran with it. It was freakin' cold outside. We had a very easy time finding where we needed to be. The next thing we knew, we were in Salt Lake. Made a very easy change to Trax transit train then onto Temple square. As I said, it was cold!!! Owen was having a great time. Addie said she was bored cause she didn't know it would take so long!! We walked around for a short time. Then headed back. Again, found our way no problem. My favorite part was the way home cause Owen fell asleep on my lap. Those moments are few and far between so I enjoy them when I get them! All was well until they said the last stop. That wasn't supposed to be our last stop!! We still needed to go a lot more north! We panicked. Found out that it only went that far north twice a day. What were we to do?!! This little gal that sat behind us must have heard our conversation and offered us a ride. She was so sweet. Thankgoodness for her!! Then, I got to lecture Addie the whole way home on how you shouldn't exept rides from strangers! And... mind you... there was never anything posted that it only came there twice a day!!!
