Saturday... Dinner Train

Dominique, Doug, Anna and JD

So after recovering from Friday we slept in on Saturday and planned on doing things around the house. Since it is the first weekend Brent has had off in Several weeks. Then we get a phone call from our friends JD and Anna asking if we would like to go on the Spirit of Washington Dinner Train. Anna's company had purchased 8 tickets and they only had 6 people that were able to go. We agreed to go and after stealing the baby sitter from someone else we caught the first ferry to Edmonds on time. It was so great. We had a terrific night and had a great seat on the train. We were in a dome car so we had a view of the cities and Lake Washington. We sat with another couple from Anna's work and they were great company. The train stops at a winery for sampling and tours then goes back. That was really cool and we got to have quite a bit of wine. We had prime rib for dinner and it was scrumptious. I told our waiter that it was Brent's birthday (which on Sunday it was) and the whole car sang Happy Birthday to him. He did turn red. It was great. We got off the train at 10 and had to catch the 10:35 ferry in order to make it back at a decent time. JD pulled right up to the end of the passenger dock at 10:34, we ran down the terminal dropped 15 dollars for the $13 dollar ride, ran down to the ferry and boarded as they were lifting the passenger dock. Yes another close call. The next ferry wasn't until 1145 and we really did not want to have to wait for it. All in all it was a wonderful evening and it only cost us the $15 dollars for the ferry ride.
