Light Rail Ride

The state I live in just finished its very first Light Rail project; since we live close to one of the stops we decided to give it a try while our friends from NM were here. The first trip was a little crowded, but I have been on many a crowded bus going to and from the school parking lot when I was going to college. The ride back was insanely crowded and by far the worst trip I have ever taken on public transportation. It was not just the crowd that made it a bad trip but trying to deal with a the six kids we had between the two of us. Somehow the dad's ended up cut off from us although we were eventually able to pass the littlest two kids to there them. Tyler ended up falling asleep on Calvin's shoulder and Calvin's back has not been the same since. Here are some pictures of the first ride; we were on survival mode on the way home and didn't take any more pictures. We did have some fun in downtown walking around and we eat at the Hard Rock Cafe.

Yeah, that ride home was NOT good advertising to make me want to take the train again. Hopefully it has calmed down since then.
