Train Trips Are The Coolest!


Trev and Pete saying an unfortunate goodbye to the home upon the train, Union Station, Denver, CO


Linda the ever attentive bar tender on board the Zephyr


Final ending point, Union Station, downtown Denver


Chels, Jess Hendryx, and Kari Larsen chillin on board. We had a bunch of our Denver friends come and meet us once we arrived in Denver to share in the fun.


Tisha, Uncle Pete, Uncle Tim, and Trev


California Zephyr coming into Denver


Passing another train near Laramie, WY


Yes, well over an 8 piece rocking band


Often the top deck was an awesome place to chat and watch the scenery roll on by


Chels all dressed up for the formal b day dinner


The theme was "smokey oriental express attire"??????


We had a bunch of our Truckee/Tahoe buds that met us at the train station in Truckee, CA for an all too quick hello, beer, and goodbye.


Rounding a corner after cresting Donner Pass en route to Truckee, CA


Chels and the birthday boy Tim.


Tim stoked on things with a breeze filled view near Sacramento, CA


The amazingly rad crew that kept us well fed and hydrated while on board!


Yes, bloody's were the order of the day to start the train trip off right!


Things are hectic around Casa de Jackson Family Robinson. We just returned from one of the most unique and fun birthday bashes of all time. My uncle Tim sported up for 30 of his friends and fam to join him riding from Oakland, CA out to Denver, Co on a two day escapade. We had our own private rail cars attached to the back end of an Amtrack train complete with wait staff, open bar, sleeper berths, and live music. One for the ages!
