LUKE’S BIG TRAIN ADVENTURE

LUKE’S BIG TRAIN ADVENTURE

This is the eighth year for my son Luke’s Big Train Adventure.  Twenty-two hours from Montreal to Halifax, first class all the way…private cabin, dining car and all the flirting with the pretty Via Rail staff he can handle.

Each year he calls it the ‘best holiday EVER’! and this year was no exception….

Each day was filled with activities…

Fresh fruit, all the drinks we could consume.  Life is good in first class.

Best Holiday EVER!

One parting comment as we settled into our little cabin for the night: “This is so perfect, Mom!’
