All aboard! We loaded up the family for a trip to Canon City today to ride the Royal Gorge Route Railroad. Our train departed at 12:30 p.m. for the 24-mile, 2-hour round trip through the breathtaking Royal Gorge. The route follows along the Arkansas River, so some bonus entertainment included watching rafters and kayakers maneuver the rapids. There weren't too many passengers on this Sunday train, so we had one whole train car to ourselves. What a nice luxury! The boys all loved the train ride ... it was a dream come true for these little conductors! 
Dalton loved exploring the train and roaming the aisles!
Even though it rained for a bit, we were dry and
cozy in our passenger car. Reid loved watching out the window!

Once the rain cleared, we ventured out to the
open-air car to check out the scenery.

All aboard ... now all done!
*A special thanks to the KC Leahys, who gave us our railroad tickets as a Christmas gift. Such a fun family day out .. thank you!
