Wednesday,
The train left Spokane and was a good ride.. I saw snow just out side of Glacier and met some really cool people. Including a guy who said he was from the future and going back in time. He played the accordion and we sang drinking and polka tunes till about 1 AM in the morning on the lounge car. I also met a guy who brought a bottle of wine in the hopes that he would find an "Amtrak Girlfriend"
Overall, I will take this trip again sometime.

Thursday Morning
I arrived to the St. Cloud station around 5 AM in the morning. My father took me out for breakfast and then I went home. I slept till about 2 in the afternoon. Thats when the storms showed up.

Later that night Dan let me know that they were playing volleyball at Trobics. I decided I would go and visit.

Friday morning
I decided I would take out the four-wheeler to capture some video so that Tara and anyone else could see where I grew up.
Home
Later in the day I drove around and then went to visit my Grandpa and Grandma.
My sister was nice enough to bring over my nephew so I had some quality time with him.

Later that evening I went over to Dans to watch him work on the 1935 Chevy he is rebuilding for the wedding. It was pretty cool to see. I then ended up going to the bars with his brother. Only 1 Irish car bomb that night.
Saturday
I went biking on the Lake Wobegon Trail. Please check out pics of the Mississippi River in the picture section. After I went for the bike ride my family asked me to help work on a shed they.
Videos of the shed going up.

And now I have been in the coffee shop for the last couple hours.. checking emails, uploading videos and pic, and just happy to be back "home" in Minnesota.

Glad to hear you enjoyed your trip. A change of scenery can do wonders.
I wonder how traveling by commuter train compares to plane. I love flying and enjoyed my limited experience in subways. I guess I'm fascinated by most modes of transport and our ability to travel to/away-from home.
