This weekend we took a train to our state capital, stayed in a hotel for a night, swam, went out to eat & came home. It was an excellent weekend. While the the food & hotel were average, the train ride was amazing. The kids & I had never been on a train before, which may have enhanced the experience. Any form of transportation where I can walk freely to grab a bloody Mary at will- is excellent in my book. Consider me the next Amtrak spokesperson. Thanks to my wife for the excellent idea & for taking some rad photographs- I hope everyone had as great of a Mother's Day as we did!
