Train Travel

We headed off on the train a few weeks ago to visit some friends for dinner. It was not until we were on the train that we realized how long it had been since we had actually been on a train (over a year!). There are certainly some benefits to train travel, but there are just other options that usually win out for each particular journey. On this particular occasion though, we were quite happy to be on the train. It had been so long that the kids were both very excited to be on the train and behaved very well. And it was rather relaxing (as a parent) to not need to worry about directions, keeping our eyes on the road, other drivers etc. and we could all just enjoy the journey. What a nice treat. I think we may need to plan another little train journey in the near future :).

Within moments of sitting down, Milayla was kicking off her shoes and eager to greet the passengers next to us.

Atticus promptly pulled out his snack.

Milayla - a blur - always on the move; meeting people, chatting, exploring, helping.
