Tourists in Our Own City



On Saturday we decided to take a family field trip and play tourists in our own city.

Earlier this summer the first segment of a light rail system in the greater Seattle area opened. For now, it runs north-south and starts just a couple miles from our house. It extends up into Seattle and ends at Westlake Center. We thought Miles would enjoy the train ride, so we loaded up the gang and headed out. It was actually really fun; Miles LOVED it and Jillian slept the whole time. We rode north, got out at Westlake, had lunch, and headed home again. All said, it took us about three hours from the time we left our house until we got home again. We highly recommend this little excursion! An afternoon of entertainment for the price of train tickets ($10) and lunch. Very cool.
