Goodbye DC...

Monday was the last day we spent in Washington D.C. Now our next destination is back to Philadelphia and to visit family.

Union Station, Washington D.C. the hub for all rail.

Our last look at the U.S. Capital building before leaving.

Colin paitently waits for the Amtrak to take us to Philadelphia.

Many people using the rail system to get around the NE Corridor.

Colin watches the scenery pass by.

Amtrak Ride to Washington DC

Saturday brought a train trip from Philadelphia to the nation's capital, Washington, DC. After a quick ride on the SEPTA, we waited for our Amtrak train at the 30th Street Station in downtown Philly.

Colin was excited for the train ride. Riding a train is not something he regularly does in Iowa.

He wants to make sure he is in train "style" when it arrives.

A full train greeted Colin as it originally made its way from Boston.

The annoying girls talking about their personal issues didn't deter Colin from watching the country side pass. There wasn't much to see, but he didn't miss a minute of it.
