We had to get up and out the door early this morning to catch our return train back to VT/NH. We got an Uber ride (like a taxi) from the Hyatt Regency Crystal City hotel to Union Station. It was about $11, not too bad at all, considering it would have cost us $2.50 each to ride the metro plus a lot more hassle and time.
We grabbed breakfast, snacks, lunch, and coffee (of course) before getting on the train at 7:20am. Now we sit back, relax, read, check emails, etc. The woman next to me is a lawyer who works on transportation cases for the government in D.C. She is on her way to NYC for a wedding shower. The couple on our other side are from England and visiting universities. They are headed to Amherst, MA and then to Boston for a few days.
The train track is being maintained every Saturday for the next year, which means that we will have to get off the train in Springfield, Connecticut (home of James Naismith & Margaret E. Knight) and ride on a bus to New Haven, Connecticut where we will get back on the train for the rest of the journey. We should be back in Brattleboro by 5pm. My dad is coming to pick us up at the train stop.
