KRISTIAN WRITES:Papa arranged a trip on an Amtrak train that left from Kansas City, MO, and went to Sedalia, MO. It was about a 2 hour trip. Jeff, Dick and the girls rode the train while Moma and I drove the van to pick them up on the other end. Don't worry, Mom and I grabbed some coffee and had a great time, talking all the way!! This is Union Station in Kansas City. It is a beautiful, old building. It reminded me a lot of the train stations in Washington DC and New York.
Ashton, Mallory, Jeff and their train. 
All Aboard!! Yes, they really do say that and they blow the horn!!
Trains are great fun for kids of all ages! (Even Dads and Papas.)
Tuffy, don't look!! Dick ordered! No, in his defense, they ONLY had Pepsi products and he didn't know until after he had ordered. I promise we HAVE NOT moved away and been 'brainwashed' into drinking Pepsi!!!
Moma and Dick took us by to see some of the historic hotels where they stayed on their vacation in the fall of '08. During that trip they had biked 300 miles across MO on the Katy Trail. Ashton and Mallory look quite comfortable don't they?
I guess it wouldn't be proper to tell you that the girls were posing for these pictures in the ladies room. It was just too pretty not to capture!!
More pictures in the powder room. Don't worry the three of us were the only ones in there...no one outside the Price fam. 
Last one, I promise. But isn't she beautiful??
Ashton and Mallory obliging Moma for yet another picture, this time at the Katy Depot in Sedalia, MO, where the bike trail comes in. (This was a depot for trains many years ago.)
I don't even know what to say here! Many things come to mind, but I think I will leave it at that.
No, there aren't any trains running on these tracks anymore.

The ladies are patiently waiting on Papa to return with our drinks during our visit to Starbucks. YUM!
Yes, I (Kristian) was there too! I am usually just on the other end of the camera. 
I love you so much Papa!! Thank you and Nana for coming to see us. We had a great time!!!! We cannot wait until Summer Camp to see you again!!Abundantly blessed!

Tell Papa he needs to check before he orders. Coke is it!!
It is a good thing that Dick was not driving chasing the train. Been there, done that. Pooped in my pants.
Just think....Tuffy's taxes are helping to subsidize Amtrak (and thus helping them buy PEPSI!)
