The sprinter was pretty cool; Lincoln was just so giddy with excitement that he was actually going to ride the TRAIN! And Orion, well, he couldn't have cared less. :)
When we ended up on the sprinter, it was quite dusk and getting darker by the minute! Lincoln had fun looking out the huge windows and pointing out the cars, people, lights, etc. I was really impressed by the smoothness of the ride, and how quiet everything was! Definitely NOT like South American trains - ugh! Now that's a post all in itself... haha. Bryan liked that we were able to actually do something different together as a family and he was able to come (besides being in school away from us). Orion just liked all the attention from other train-goers. Oh, and he got lots, let me tell you!
Things I would do differently next time:
1. Go earlier in the day
2. Take a car to the station!
All in all, it was quite fun and I recommend it for a fun cheap thrill! For all you guys and gals out there with young kids; your babes under 6 are free! (4$ per adult for an all day pass)

We have been wanting to do this with Kasen for weeks now! Thank you for talking me into it! Im glad your boys had fun too!
Fun! I have been wanting to ride the sprinter for a while now - Glad to know it's better to drive to a station than walk :)
Boys and a train...what could be better?
We are planning our first train ride this Saturday. Good tips. What was up with your detour? Brandon & I ride our bikes over there on the path between campus and the gym and dorms. Was there construction? I'm sorry that it took you so long. I am excited to go, kids do that to you.
