Riding the train

On the way to Randy and Emily's house to celebrate Christmas, we stopped and rode the new Lynx blue line, which opened about a month ago, I guess. We rode from the I-485 station all the way uptown and then back to our car at I-485. The ride took about an hour both ways. The kids loved it! It was a really good surprise for them and well worth the $5.20 we had to pay to ride!

Waiting for the train to come...

The trains are so shiny and everything inside is very clean and obviously new. I'm glad we did this now before the new-ness wears off.


We were pleased with the adventure. On the ride into uptown a conversation came up between passengers about no one checking our tickets - how bad it was going to be when people realized no one was checking tickets. We even debated whether we should bother buying another ticket for the return trip. I'm glad we decided we should because a gentleman did ask to see our tickets on the return trip.
