Sayonara solstice!

All settled in bed now, it's 1035pm and we just crossed over from Indiana to Ohio.

We ended up having dinner served in our rooms, which was nice and WAY quicker than waiting for our allotted spot in the dining car.

I had the veg pad thai, Kurt had the veg lasagna, Roman had the crab cakes, and Aidan had to have our own PBJs, as there was no grilled cheese special. Thank the gods we brought food and our fabulous new eBags' Crew Cooler!!

😊

Dinner was good, mine was spicier than I thought, but it came with tofu - bonus!

I took some pictures of our roomette made up for sleeping, thought you'd like to see. Also included a country map that shows all the Amtrak routes ... You can zoom in to find the Southwest Chief route (LA to Chicago, we got on in Albuquerque), and the Capitol Limited (Chicago to DC).

Our train attendant, Eric, is great, as was his predecessor Jamie.

Looking forward to a restful night. An interesting bit for those of you who track your sleeping: my Jawbone UP had me "awake" for almost the whole night, presumably due to the rocking motion of the train, and therefore my body. So, according to the tracker I got 28 minutes of sleep last night.  😕

Actually, I slept between 7 and 8 hours. Yay for not really getting 28 mins sleep!! That coupled with the two previous nights being only 6 hours of sleep each would made me a shoe-in as an extra for The Walking Dead.

That's about it for me world. Blessings be to all.
