so the auto train ride started out well.... that is before we pulled out of the station. it was an experience to say the least. and if nothing else showed us we need to spend the extra money to get our own sleeper car. the whole idea was very neat just sleep was hard to come by. what more could a person really need, on board bathrooms, lounge, dinner cart, and bar. we did have a lovely dinner with a super old couple. but they were very easy and nice to talk with. and actually the husband was a rutgers alum from class of 44. and they had roots in new jersey. the scenery on the trip was very interesting and we even learned some history. the train runs along some major locations of american history and one of the conductors explained some of it to us. the major downside came when a few parents let there kids run around like the train like it was a jungle gym. and when people seat hop and choose the seats behind us to fall asleep and snore. the snoring was keeping danielle up so i had to actually wake the guy up and luckily he got the hint and moved. the train was a good idea though it helped keep the whole 1300 mile trek worth of stress off our cars while leaving us enough drive left to make an adventure out of it..... but i dont foresee us being so excited to take the train ride home.
