Fun To-Do: Take a Train

For the extended holiday break, Jackson and I decided to hop on a train and visit my folks.  The train trip to St. Louis from Kansas City takes about 5 hours.  I figured it would be easier than driving all the way and having to stop multiple times.  It turned out to be an easy and fun day on the train.

Jack took a nap, ate some peas, looked out the window, and played, played, played.

Amtrak is a pretty great way to travel with a baby.  They helped me lift my baggage onto the train, and there was plenty of room for us to spread out, even on one of the busiest travel days of the year.  Jack liked playing in his own seat!

As you can see, Jack approved of the train.  I do too.  Travel Amtrak sometime with your little one and you will be in for a real treat.

  1. Wow what a fun idea! We have commuter trains here... but to get to Amtrak, we have to take a train into the city and then hop on Amtrak ... a lot of work ... but I want to do it one day.
