Trip to Glacier
Saturday, June 21st, 2014
Went to Glacier National Park with Cassie and Erin, or, I should say, I missed my train entirely, and had to take the train that arrives after that. The thing is, our train was supposed to leave Saturday, June 21st at 1:40pm, from King Street Station, but because I had to mail out some checks for tap, I left my place at 1pm instead of 12:30pm like I originally planned. On top of that, it was the day of the Rock N’ Roll Marathon. I got to the station at 1:46pm. The train left at 1:40pm >:O. But it was really a blessing in disguise because I forgot to bring my driver’s license so I wouldn’t have been able to rent a car at Whitefish if I had actually been able to go. I left my license on the kitchen counter because I was showing Carlene what my new license after I got the motorcycle endorsement looked like compared to the license I had before I got the motorcycle endorsement. I had to spend another $65 on top of the $180 to get the new train ticket.
I was so mad that I punched a street pole.
It wasn’t a completely unproductive day, however, I was able to go to 999 Hiawatha Pl S to take a look at the apartment. It was quite nice and a lot quieter than I expected from an apartment located off of Rainier Ave S. However, I did feel that it was a bit more expensive than I wanted, at $1400 for a 500 sq ft studio. I had dinner tonight in Seattle to think about my boneheaded decision to miss my train.
