This weekend was the Wasilla Chamber of Commerce's annual Murder on the Alaska Railroad trip. Seven of us from the hospital decided it was due time for a little girl's getaway weekend. Friday morning we loaded down the minivan and cargo carrier for the 5 hour drive to Wasilla. I will be posting pictures of the scenery later but here we are all ready to go on Saturday morning for the 8 hour train ride. Ladies of the night, lawman, and outlaws all aboard!!
We were surprised to find how few people had dressed in costume but those that did seemed to go over the top. What's your vote? Guy or gal?
The master of ceremonies for our train car, Tombstone, had adult games planned for a few hours of the trip. Four of us had to melt an ice cub without using our hands or mouth.
Angie sacked out with her Dramamine but I'm not sure what Jen found so funny!
These passengers fit the bill for the themed Wild West Ride as well!
The Murder event was acted out by a cast of 5 and this young lady was the innocent, sweet niece of Aunt Gerdy but boy, she sure wanted her portion of Aunt Gerdy's Gold Mine. Did she kill for it?
Or could it have been the charlotte of the family, Chasity? Turned out to be the gals brother because Aunt Gerdy put her hand on his Butterfinger. A bit cheesy but we made if fun and are glad we all went!
One more game before we rolled back into town. A T-shirt relay but you had to hold the hands of the person you were transferring the shirt too while your teammates did the moving! 
16.4 seconds got it done for our team!
But unfortunately these fine ladies took second to a team that watched our technique and did it in just over 13 secs!
Only had one minor delay on the this train ride...at $7 a drink the man in white managed to get himself into a bit of disorderly conduct trouble. We had to wait 45 minutes in Talkeetna for State Patrol to come pick him up. Yup, he's in handcuffs!
