I'm packing up my train case and rolling down up the tracks on Wednesday night for a little getaway. My good friend Pam came up with the idea of a train trip to the Seattle area.....in January. The last time I was in the area they were having a heat wave; don't think that will be the case this time. The weather forecast isn't looking so good for the week, but I'm always up for an adventure. I pulled my rain gear out of hibernation and packed my clothes in extra large suitcases just so I'll have plenty of room for all the treasures I hope to find. I won't be completely "unplugged" for the week, but will certainly go through blogging withdrawals.
Do you think the train will make any junking stops?
A 24 hour trip calls for some extra room to spread out, so we decided to splurge on a sleeper cabin.
We'll take the ferry to Victoria for a few days.
After a week of shopping, eating, relaxing, visiting with family, more shopping and more eating, we'll be travelling back home the same way we rolled in. I sure hope we're still speaking to each other.

Oh, you'll love the sleeping wagon, I think. I did that once in Germany and it was so wonderful to be lulled to sleep by the train's movement! I'm jealous -- I love train travel! Have fun!

Have fun, B - and be sure to come up with a backup plan for stuff to do when you get there...the storm of the century is on its way. You might need to stay in a warm hotel and do some crafting.
How Neat! You didnt tell me it was a train trip! That is pretty neat!
You will have a total blast....bring your snow boots! lol You are going to love junkin in Seattle. Victoria is just beautiful and you will get some fab photos there! Have a ton of fun...I know you will.

Hi, my name is Heather! Please email me when you can, I have a question about your blog!

Enjoy your trip and don't forget to blog about it :)
Once when I was in high school, my family and I took a cruise ship down from Ketchikan, Alaska to Vancouver. That is one beautiful area of the world. Have fun, take lots of pictures.
I'm soooo jealous! What fun, how I would love to just pull away from the tracks and watch life race by outside the window of the train! What a 'romantic' way of seeing the journey to your destination. Have a glorious time, find lots of treasures, make lots of memories and share it all when you return! Your blog completely inspires us all! Safe travels.
I cannot believe that while you were suggesting a "bowling alley, lap pool, spa, or gym car" you didn't suggest stops at junkin' spots! lol Hey, wouldn't that be a hoot!
Blessings,
Liz @ The Brambleberry Cottage
