March 30, 2011...Lazy Day

We awoke to a beautiful sunrise (which was apparently blinding to morning eyes!)

We didn't do much today except hang out on the train, walk to the observation or dining car, and wile away the hours, while watching the world go by. Perfect, if you ask me.

We crossed the Mississippi River a few times and I was amazed at the expanse of it.  It literally IS miles across!

The biggest thing I will bring away from this trip, besides the bonding with Tiff, Brie and the boys, is this look of awe and wonder I saw on my boys' faces every time they stared out the window at all the amazing sights whizzing by.  That is a look I will never forget!
