Riding the Metro
We are taking the Metro to get to our rental car. We are riding in a beautiful new metro car.
It even smells new.

We made it to D.C.!
Our train pulled into Union Station, in Washington D.C. at 10:20pm and all the sleepy passengers emerged from the train like zombies out onto the platform. We walked more than we did all day just to get to our hotel, which was across the street from the station. Note: streets in D.C. are much larger than in NH and we did very little walking all day. 9 hour train ride complete!
We can see the U.S. Capitol Building from our hotel entrance and the U.S. Postal Museum is across the street.
Tomorrow we are off to Alexandria to visit Mount Vernon, George Washington's home.
I wonder what Easter festivities we will come across in our travels?!?
We're off! Taking the Train from Brattleboro to D.C.
We caught the train in Brattleboro, VT and are enjoying the country scenery as our train chugs along.
The train whistle blows often and the young boy seated near us asked the question I was thinking, "Why does the whistle keep blowing?!?"
The inside of the train is similar to an airplane; there are tray tables, overhead luggage storage, and bathrooms in the back. Phew!

2 Days Until We Leave for Virginia!
Hello followers! Mr. Prior and Mrs. Whippie Prior are excitedly preparing for another journey. For the last 3 years we have been saving money and working on buying a house, so we haven't traveled much. Now we are off again!
On Saturday we will be taking a train to Washington DC and from there will be traveling to historic sites in Virginia. We look forward to seeing Mount Vernon, home of George Washington; Monticello, Thomas Jefferson's home; Colonial Williamsburg; and Jamestown where one of the earliest English settlements was located.
What questions do you have? What information can we find for you along our journey?
