The email included three photos, one of which is extremely disturbing.
We shall copy the text from the email, and put it in italics, so as to differentiate the Jason text from the non-italicized comments from Spencer Jack and Jason's Favorite Uncle D...
Spencer and I hopped aboard Amtrak’s Empire Builder this morning in downtown St. Paul‘s Union Station for a 4 hour journey east to Wisconsin Dells.
(Ironically the Train we took left King Street Station two hours before we left Sea Tac on Sunday)
Okay, I must explain the irony to which Jason refers. King Street Station is the downtown Seattle Amtrak station, near the location of the now long gone Kingdome. Amtrak's Empire Builder left Seattle two hours before Spencer Jack and Jason flew out of Sea-Tac, and today, two days later, they are boarding the same train for a four hour ride to Wisconsin Dells. I hope I translated the irony accurately.
We were seated with an entire family of Northern Indiana Amish folk. The Amish children were the most well behaved children I have ever met.
Those must have been some extremely well behaved children. I mean, Jason has met David, Theo and Ruby. Those are the most well behaved children I have ever met. Well, those three, and Spencer Jack.
Spencer spent the afternoon water sliding.
We will be residing here for two nights before driving ourselves to Lake Michigan on Thursday.
And now that aforementioned disturbing photo, and the text which explains it...
Upon arrival into the red state of Wisconsin, I made a quick wardrobe change to fit in with the locals.
This really is inexcusable. I mean really. If Spencer Jack and Jason were riding a train from Amsterdam to Berlin in 1936 would Jason buy himself a NAZI t-shirt to better fit in with the locals?
Well, I guess maybe he would.
Wisconsin is just barely red, isn't it? Probably blue by now. I would hope...
