Amtrak Crescent

Pros: I’ve never rode a train before, so it was enjoyable to do something I’ve never done! Waking up to the sun rising was wonderful too. Cons: It was freezing cold all night and the lights stayed on all night, but other than that it was an honestly enjoyable trip. Tips: Bring a blanket or layers! It’s chilly!! Also bring a camera because it was extremely picturesque at certain times!
