I just had the best trip of my life!!!! part 1

I just came back from a week long trip by train to and from Edmonton Alberta.
My mom and step-dad dropped me off at my grandma's house and they visited for maybe 45 minutes. Then we had dinner.
Soon after that we went to bed. We went to bed so early (9:00) because we had to get on a train at 5 in the morning!!!!
We woke up and we went crazy trying to do things before 5:30! I had a nibble of some apple crumble and then I brushed my teeth, hair and I got into the car.
We headed to the train station and we hopped onto the train. In the seat across from me there was some old lady (she didn't look to happy that there was a kid in her car!) she was heading for Jasper.
Soon the sun rose and we were off! My Grandpa pointed out that there was tons of sulfur that had leaked out of trains. We passed by Barrier and Clear water and soon we were in the Rockies! 5 minutes after I fell asleep. When I woke up I found my grandparents in the view car. My grandma was filming some mountains and then grandpa said: "Lynne!" and pointed down at me.
She said "Oh hi Bailey!" and filmed me on her new video camera.
We arrived in Jasper in a couple of hours just in time for dinner. We wandered through Jasper and stopped for a very rare fast food meal (My grandparents are health food freaks!) we ate at A&W. I ate a mama burger and root beer.
We went back to the train station and wandered around the station until there was an announcement that said "Any one going eastbound on train 2 can start to board."
We got on the train and I played the DS (It is not mine it is actually Grandma's).
Soon we started to move again.
After about 5 hours we ended up in Edmonton we grabbed all of our stuff and headed out we found a taxi that was waiting. We jumped into the taxi and we told him to drive to the Aladdin Motel. We got our room with a bedroom and a kitchenette and it smelled like cigarette smoke! So we had to get a new room with no smoking and there was no kitchenette suite left. We ended up in a room with a mini fridge and a microwave. We fell asleep and we were awoken by the maid coming in and then she said "oops!" and slammed the door. We headed down to the local 7-11 to ask for bus tickets and they were fresh out so we had to pay for the bus instead of a bus ticket! We waited for the bus and then it came so we had to get on the bus and then we went to the bus station and we got on a new bus and we drove to the west Edmonton mall. It looked so small at the angle I was at but we got inside the mall and I nearly screamed it was so huge!

Look for part two later.
