All Aboard! Last Stop Silverton, Colorado

Here's the last installment of our Colorado trip. We took this amazinging train trip from Durango, Colorado to Silverton, Colorado. First we had to take a shuttle for the hour long trip to Durgango from Pagosa Springs. We left early in the morning, and as you know Ayla is not a morning person and this was out of her element anyway so she was really upset about riding on the shuttle. She was really nervous, she had me hold both of her hands and then she fell asleep which lasted most of the shuttle ride. Tayvie did great, we got to hold her on our laps, and she got to nurse whenever she wanted, so she was happy as could be.

Once we got to Durango at the train station Ayla was just as nervous to ride the train. About 20 minutes into it she was fine and had no more worries. This is one of her favorite things to talk about now, how we rode the "doodlebus" (which was the shuttle) and the train.

The train ride was gorgeous, we followed the river up the mountain to Silverton, an old mining town. Along the way there were points, as you can see in the pictures, where we were right next to the mountain on one side and a drop off cliff to the river on the otherside. The ride was about 3 1/2 hours long and when we got to Silverton we had lunch and stopped in a few stores and then took the shuttle back to Pagosa Springs.

So now we're caught up on our Colorado trip. Early tomorrow morning we will leave for Yellowstone!
