Marilyn and Bob Arrive by Amtrak

I was able to talk to Marilyn on the train and learned that they would be late due to flooding in the midwest.  After a couple of phone calls back and forth and checking Google maps, we decided that it would be easier for for them to get off the train at Edmonds instead of downtown Seattle.  Edmonds is just 9 miles north of the house and easy to get to so that is what we did.  Bob and Marilyn disembarked and we loaded them into the car and off we went back home while hearing stories of their wonderful train ride.  They had a roomette and lots to eat and drink and beautiful scenery - nice way to travel when you're not in a hurry.





We had sandwiches for lunch and then drove down to Carkeek Park so they could see the views - the mountains were even more visible today.  But, weather forecast is for rain Saturday and Sunday so this might have been the only chance to see the view while they are here.

We enjoyed visiting and then delicious little lobster tails and baked potatoes for dinner followed by a game of Sequence which Marilyn and I won, of course.
