I’m often asked for vacation advice when my busy friends finally get a few days off and I love sharing my travel experiences in the Pacific Northwest. Most of us want to find a new activity or area to explore. It’s about finding that perfect getaway spot, the one that inspires us to plan a next visit before we even leave.

The locomotives are like massive sculptures up close.

Here’s a video I took when our train arrived. You can hear the excitement from the kids — and me.
