How do we get home???

So about a week and a half ago,
Jeff and I went out with a bunch of friends
to Rodizio Grill, for Dawson's birthday.
And we had this great idea to ride the
Frontrunner down and ride Trax to
Trolley Square.
We left Brin with Jeff's dad, Mike.
And we met up with everyone at the
Clearfield station.
Now Jeff and I have never been on the
Frontrunner or the Trax, so this was a
whole new experience for us.
Fortunately, the ride down was easy.
We made it to the restaurant in plenty of time
for our reservations.
We went to the candy store for some goodies,
and then we had our dinner.
It was absolutely delicious and we all
ate way too much!
We had a bunch of the waiters sing to Dawson...
which was awesome!
He loved it no matter what he says :)
We started heading back to the Trax station,
and we got on the wrong train. So we got off of that train,
and got on a different one going in the other direction.
Well we all got confused when they said we were headed downtown,
so we got off of that train too.
Well by this time we had about 15 minutes to make it
back to the Frontrunner for the 10:00 train.
We asked some people how we get back to the Frontrunner.
They said, "Just get on any train headed in that direction."
and he pointed to the west.
haha so funny story, the second train we got off of
was headed west. OMG I thought we were never going
to make it back home! So we got on another train,
and we got back to the Frontrunner at like 10:01...
.....and the train was still there.
So we all take off running we get over there,
completely worn out and out of breath, just to find out
that they took the 10:00 train out of service.
So we had to wait for the 11:00 train.
So needless to say, I was freezing, tired, miserably full,
and I missed my baby girl!!!
Next time we are just going to drive down, or actually
figure out how the Trax trains work.
But it was a fun, and interesting night out with some
AMAZING
friends! We LOVE them dearly, and we are so excited
to do something together again really soon!
