Last weekend, I took my oldest son on a 48-hour train journey from Seattle to Chicago. I wanted him to see the vast beauty of the American interior—and to toughen him up with some hard travel.
Here are some snapshots.

Then we descended into the endless plains of Eastern Montana and North Dakota. We saw cattle ranches, oil fields, and 250-person towns. It's amazing that this harsh landscape can even human sustain life.pic.twitter.com/olUgw8TXYI

The food was pretty good and we did a lot of reading. Then we rolled into the cities of industrial Midwest and finally to Chicago. Then flew home. /endpic.twitter.com/DbxfPazzUO

When I was 19, I took a trip on the Canadian Pacific Railroad from Vancouver to Montreal. It was a great experience, and I met a woman who became critically important to me a few months later.

How wonderful. Some of my fondest memories with my kids were during 1–on-1 travels like this.

Great pix. How much was it? I looked into taking the Empire Builder, but it left Seattle in the middle of the night, to PDX and then Spokane. Not what I expected. Cheers, and thanks for sharing.

Really cheap! We booked the small cabin, total price $650 for both tickets and meals.

My parents did this with my brother and me three times, but we drove and camped in a tent!
