Benji and Alex's Big Train Adventure

We got home from vacation on Monday night, and on Friday Benji turned around and started back to NY again to take a "transit trip" with Alex. The first leg was taking the Cardinal from Charlottesville to Manassas by himself (Alex and Soph met him at the Manassas station):


On Saturday morning, Benji and Alex got up early and made their way to Union Station in DC, where they boarded the Acela train to New York (each in their own train t-shirt, which they received compliments on from two separate people):




Once they got to NY, they took the subway to the NY Transit museum, which is housed in an old subway station in Brooklyn:






After the museum, they had some time to kill, so they explored Penn Station and also got dinner before boarding another Acela back to DC:

Benji was really excited to get the train table for the train we road last month


After sleeping in Herndon, Benji boarded a different train from Manassas back to Charlottesville (the Northeastern) and returned safely home:
