To celebrate our 15th Wedding Anniversary, Andy and I went on the Columbia Star Dinner Train (www.dinnertrain.com) with some great friends, John and Melinda Adams.
What a wonderful, unique experience this was! The train ride to Centralia and return was just over three hours. We took advantage of that time to catch up with John and Melinda. We don’t get to see them often because all of our lives are just crazy busy at the moment. We thanked them for joining us and Melinda said to us, “We were so happy you asked us to share this with you. You two have a lot of friends and we were so touched you chose us.” How sweet that was to say!
Between conversation, we also had some wonderful food and wine. We began with a bread appetizer and a wonderful cup of Butternut Squash Bisque. After that came Prime Rib, Baked Potatoes, and Green Beans. The meal was finished with a Pumpkin Pie topped with walnuts and chocolate. We ended the evening feeling very full and happy. It was such a great time with wonderful friends, great conversation, and great food! We couldn’t have asked for a better evening!


I love hearing first hand your experience on the dinner train! Thank you for sharing so many the details. I am soooo jealous.
