So my husband and I were crabbing at each other.... not fighting... just the odd fussing... so in the end, he got what he needed and I got what I wanted... a photo op of the Coast Starlight as it went through the Elkhorn Slough...
The first thing that went awry was that she was over 1.5 hours late today... which was good and bad... Trying to estimate when she would get to our spot was tricky. I ALWAYS err on the side of too much time especially since missing it would be a major bummer. So we drove to our spot... a nice lot in the slough and right by the train tracks and settled in for the wait....
and we waited... and we waited
and then we spotted an otter floating by....
and then we heard it.... far...far... far away... a 2 horn toot....
and we waited...
and then another not as far away 2 horn toot....
and we waited...
and ....
and then a much louder. 2 horn toot.....
and we waited and waited and then...
we spotted an idiot
and then finally around the corner we got her in a her glory... with a Pacific Parlour Car....
and a VERY special (okay to me) horn toot!

Totally worth the wait!
