Trains!

Denise had to work on Friday so I took the boys on a train ride. We took the green line to the blue line to the red line to Union Station Downtown. It's the best way to turn a 30 min drive into an hour and a half trip. Our goal was to see the big trains at the train station, but it was really just about the trip. We did this a couple of years ago and the boys didn't even make it up the ramp before they were terrified by the noise of the big trains. This time it was still a little loud but they loved the big trains. We may have to come up with a little longer trip soon.


As we were walking back to the car, we had a special treat. There was a freight train parked under the Metro Link station. It was even better when we got to watch it go by the house a little later.
