One day when you guys get older, you'll look back on this video, and it will feel as if no time has passed. That's the vibe I am getting. And that's the kind of relationship I want one day. Thank you for sharing these precious moments.

Coming from a colder climate, I really take snow for granted, so it’s really heartwarming to see Benji’s childlike glee over seeing snowy landscapes.

i had never noticed how much i had overlooked the beauty of moss my whole life until i started gardening and especially when i tried making a terrarium. My mum told me the same since i had forced her into helping me look for moss from rocks. Now wherever we go we point out moss to each other

You two could do a multi part series on this and I would've watched the entire thing. As someone who lives in Vancouver, it always makes me happy to see someone enjoying the NW. It rains a lot, we definitely have our problems, but having access to Dense forests, Mountains and Beaches all just about 2 hours away from each other as well as a diverse culinary scene is cool and unique. Thank you for visiting!

I no longer fly because I love train rides. There's something peaceful and recluse about train riding, which is why I go by train every quarter to visit family. It's almost 30 hours one way for me. The train is nowhere as clean and updated like yours, though..wow!

This is such a beautiful, heartwarming video. Loved it from getting onto the train, to the beautiful cozy Elle’s apartment. I recently traveled on the Texas Eagle 21’s Rommette. And, although the views were not as beautiful as yours, it was so cozy and quiet. I am jealous you two have each other to enjoy, I went on a 30 hour trip from Chicago to Texas by myself, not as fun, but still an awesome experience. Beautiful, beautiful video and well put. 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

Hi Benji...Glad that you and Chris experienced the Amtrak train ride. Although, they are long rides it's still a great way to see the country! The sleeper car is always an excellent choice! I suggest stopping for a day or two in a cities of interest and get back on. (For example, I did from Chicago, Memphis, New Orleans, Atlanta). Of course, I flew back home! Great trip though!
