Underappreciated Mode of Transportation

After packing up all my stuff, I decided to spend the first homeless weekend in Washington DC. I took the train down to spend the weekend with Becky, Uncle Ken, and Grandma and Grandpa. To get there I basically had three options: drive, fly, or train (there was likely a bus option, but I didn’t investigate). I decided on train mostly because I didn’t want to pay for a flight and I didn’t want the stress of driving (Memorial Day traffic and the likelihood that I’d get lost).

Overall it was a great experience. The train was punctual, I was able to do some work, sleep, and rewatch some episodes of Modern Family that I have on itunes. Had I planned a little bit better I would have packed myself a decent lunch because the quality of the train food was equivalent to gas station food, but about five times the price.

DC was a great time and is absolutely amazing at night when all the monuments are lit up. We managed to see a lot in a short time, but there is still so much I want to see in DC now that I actually appreciate history. Now that I know the train is such an easy option, I think I’ll try to go down there again soon.
