We are back from our trip to the Rockies, Internet not so good. Well the train was amazing and the scenery beautiful, first day was desert like which was surprising, second day we started to get higher, it was very relaxing just watching the world go by.

We walked on a glacier, we dra...

We had a tour of Washington by night but as Obama is in town for the Syria business there is a lot of security and bl...
