For Christmas this year, we got my mom and dad tickets for an overnight stay and train ride on the Wisconsin Great Northern Railroad; actually part of the gift was that my sisters and husbands were all going to go too! We finally found time for all of us to get away together the end of July. We had to travel to Spooner, Wisconsin to board the train. We then took an hour ride (we only went 5 mph so went 5 miles) to a scenic spot and ate supper. We then took the hour ride back to the train station. They had a "bar" car that had drinks, music and a dart table and that's where we spent most of the last part of the evening. We then spent the night on the train and they had breakfast for us in the morning. The quarters were tight - just ask my 6' 3 '' brother in law about the beds! - but the food was good and the company was great! It was a fun experience - we don't get away to often without the kids!
