I loved every minute, but one year my parent's bought a station wagon that could travel that far without breaking down. It was a shorter time to get to Georgia, but just like the train, it didn't make many stops, daddy wanted to get there. As an adult I finally did the trip one time and took three weeks, so I could see and touch everything. Now that's how I like to travel!Shellbellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14836629045327379085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6259236724941582496.post-45468709115783434682011-03-09T22:03:22.611-08:002011-03-09T22:03:22.611-08:00great memory, great story.great memory, great story.A rootdiggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02642330951208433671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6259236724941582496.post-82167529615655754142011-03-07T13:36:04.160-08:002011-03-07T13:36:04.160-08:00Hi Lori...
Ahhh...such a sweet story and memory, ...Hi Lori...<br /><br />Ahhh...such a sweet story and memory, my friend! All except for the part about throwing up...poor girl! I have been on a few trains in my life but honestly, I don't remember eating on any of the trips! Not sure what that's about...the food must have not been very impressive and of course, I never had a first class ticket! Hehe! You know, the thing that I "took away" from your story was this...mama's always have a way of taking a situation and making it "all better"!!! Yep...mama's are like that...yes, they are! I'm sorry that you lost your mama while you were so young, my friend! I still have my mama with me...although she lives in Texas and I don't get to see her as often as I would like! My husband Russell...lost his mother when he was 25 as well...before he had his children. That always makes him sad! On a happier note...that sure was sweet of your brothers to chip in and gift you and your mama...tickets to go and see your sister! That was awesome!!! <br /><br />Thanks so much for sharing this sweet memory and story with us today for Sunday Favorites, Lori! <br /><br />Have a wonderful week, dear lady!<br />Chari @Happy To DesignChari at Happy To Designhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05475994012652473793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6259236724941582496.post-15938579717220664572011-03-07T07:06:44.433-08:002011-03-07T07:06:44.433-08:00What a story!
