Well, tonight the two happy travellers (my husband and 90 year old Mom) board ViaRail - the train with the dome car, and travel through the prairies and the Rockies to Vancouver.  Mom's ticket says she has the top bunk and Ted the bottom but I think Ted will switch ha ha!

This is the son they are going to visit - holding his 2 year old niece Avery Maria whom Grandpa has already read many stories to!
