<\/a><\/p>\nOur train was running late so we had some time to kill at the station.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Shortly after the Southbound train arrived, our train pulled into the station and we settled into our rooms.<\/p>\n After departing Fort Worth, the train made a stop in Dallas.<\/p>\n We, of course, enjoyed dinner in the dining car. The steak was fantastic!<\/p>\n After dinner, we all went to the lounge car and the boys played Monopoly on the iPad.<\/p>\n After hanging out a while in our rooms, we all turned in for the night.<\/p>\n We got up early Sunday morning to go to breakfast (6:30am!). French Toast all around.<\/p>\n By the time we got to St. Louis, we were only about an hour behind schedule.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Soon, we were pulling into Chicago and ready to get there.<\/p>\n After picking up our checked bags, we did something we have never done on any of our journeys. We took a Taxi. It made getting to our hotel a lot easier.<\/p>\n Our hotel has 27 floors and we are on the 16th floor. Great views. We can even see Lake Michigan.<\/p>\n After a quick run to CVS to buy some water bottles, we headed out to the one thing Vicky demanded we go to. Sprinkles Cupcake ATM.<\/p>\n Then we stopped off in a local mall for some dinner. We went to some exotic Asian restaurant.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
