When we asked Bean what he'd like for his birthday, he said he'd like to ride the train from Durango to Silverton. The official name is the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad. We put it off for a little while to be able to enjoy the Fall leaves. We took that ride on Saturday, September 27th. We picked up Bean in Cedar and drove over to Aztec to stay with Ross and Lerlyn on Friday. Along the way we stopped in Green River for lunch at Arby's and then stopped in Durango for dinner at a BBQ place we like there. Then we headed down to spend the night with in Aztec. Ross and Lerlyn had decided they wanted to come along so we all got up and went to Durango to start the train ride at 9 am on the steam train. It was a beautiful ride with so much amazing scenery to enjoy along the way and the Fall leaves were definitely part of that beauty. We got there about 12:30 and went over to eat lunch and then hung out in Silverton enjoying the town scenery until it was time to leave at 2:45. We didn't ride the train back. We took a really nice bus instead which was a good thing. It got rainy on the way down and it would have been hard to enjoy the scenery from the train in that weather, and we took a different route on the road, so we saw different scenery. All of it was great! We spent Saturday night in Aztec and then got on our way Sunday morning. We were able to listen to the Sunday School podcasts pretty much all the way home, so that was our church for this day. We stopped in Page to eat our picnic lunch at a park and stopped at the Dam to use their bathrooms. We had quite a bit of rain on the way home which we were pretty happy to have. We enjoyed more beautiful leaves on the way home especially coming over Cedar Mountain. We dropped Bean off in Cedar and then drove the rest of the way home. It was a great, quick trip! Happy Birthday Bean! We love you! Happy #37!
