Train Games: After the Final Ride

I'm watching the Bachelorette right now, so you're welcome for the reference in this blog title.

We got home from #traingames2016 yesterday (Sunday), which means my clothes are half unpacked and half scattered on the floor and I had one question on my mind all day, "What day is it and what city am I in?" Fine. That's two questions.

In case we didn't use the words, "amazing, "incredible," "unforgettable" and "awesome" enough in our social media posts, then I should tell you that we LOVED this trip. It went from an admiration of someone else's trip... to dreaming about taking our own... to a reality. We couldn't be more grateful that every part of the trip (for the most part) went smoothly and we'd recommend you GO IMMEDIATELY.

Over and over again we had people tell us, "Oh, I've always wanted to do a trip like that!" YES, YOU SHOULD DO THAT. Plan the time. Save the money. Turn off your email. Take the trip.

Just for fun, we've written out some of our highlights (or low points) from the trip. Thanks again for following along with the adventure! Cheers to #traingames2016. If only we had the airbrush t-shirt to commemorate it all.
