Here we are at the Winter Haven train station . . . waiting. Susan, Molly's mother-in-law is going along on the train with us. I have no idea who the guy in the background is, but he was pretty friendly . . . in a friendly sorta way!
Our lovely chauffeur, Miss Kitty. Granddaddy posed her in front of this old luggage cart . . . because he likes taking pictures of old stuff! (And after all, Kitty is the oldest grandchild!)
Here comes the Silver Meteor number 98!
What a blessing to have a nice sleeping compartment! Especially since I had the wheelchair and Danny ended up with motion sickness! Don't ask me what I was thinking letting him take this picture!
Danny's favorite way to spend a trip, especially when under the influence of Dramamine!
We met up with friends going to the Reformation 500 also! These are Mr. and Mrs. Case and their daughter Emily, who were in our same car. We had looked forward to being able to fellowship along the way, but Danny's "condition" and my legs kept us in the compartment most of the time. They blessed us with Dramamine and lots of cheerful encouragement! Thank you, and hope to get to spend some time with you in Boston, Cases!
Trying to be prudent, we had shipped most of our clothes up to the hotel by UPS -- in a nice, neat hanging box, at some considerable expense. Uh oh!! This is the condition we found them in when we got here! Sorry about all those hours ironing, Kitty! Oh, well, the hotel room has a nice iron and ironing board!Well, off to see what the first day brings us! Thank you, Lord, for the ability to get together occasionally with hundreds of like-minded families and hear men of God share what God has done throughout history, which is, after all His-story! More to come!

Thank you for the pictures!! Since we can't be there in person, the next best thing is for family to go and send us (Lots) of updates and pictures!! :)
Thats too bad about the UPS box. :/
Have fun! I love y'all!
Love,
Sarah
PS:What floor did you end up getting?? :)
Ah, the good ol' faithful Winter Haven train station. I have lots of good memories from there!
I hope your compartment was comfortable...it looks like Daddy had no trouble going to sleep!
Keep posting!
Love,
Katie
Enjoying this precious time together with you here in Boston. Thanks for making the trip!
Love you both!
Molly
Thanks for helping us not feel so left out! I know you tried to post more, but had a naughty computer.
So glad you could meet up with the Case family. I LOVE the train! We're praying for your safe return.
I can't believe your UPS box got turned around! I'm sure your meant to say sorry to Sarah about all the hours ironing, since she's the only slightly odd one in our family who actually enjoys ironing!
Love,
Beth

Oh, no! What a disappointment to have all your clothes in such a mess after packing them so carefully.
I would have loved to be at the Reformation 500 but we went to Ohio instead for a youth camp.
Was the train's movement more unusual than normal? (just wondering since your dh became sick)
