Amtrak Adventure.

Hi guys! I'm on my way to New York now but now i'm gonna talk about our Amtrak adventure. we got to Union Station in Chicago and headed straight to the check in. Little did we know that since we had a sleeper car there was a private lounge for the sleeper car passengers. We thought that was really awesome. Next, we got on the train and we were off to the nation's capitol! Our sleeper car was very cool but super tiny. We thought it would be bigger, but it's about the size of a big closet. Here are some pics:

Then it was time to hit the sack!. When we woke up we were in southern Pennsylvania in the beautiful snowy Appalachian mountains. The mountains were huge and filled with giant icicles and snow.
Then we headed over to the dining car for some yummy breakfast! .
Then we reached Cumberland ,Maryland the home of George Washington's headquarters. Here is a really nice photo i took in Cumberland.
 Then we headed down to Martinsburg, the home of the oldest working train station in the US. Built in 1847, it was one of the only buildings to survive the Civil War. it is now a national history landmark.


You're probably wondering how I got all these great photos from a little window. Well, I didn't. There's a very cool lounge and sight-seeing car on the train. It has huge windows to look out through. I spent a lot of time there.
And then we arrived in our nation's capitol!
And that was our train adventure. I'll write another post about DC. Thats all for now. Ruben.
