We recently took Jeremy on his first train ride and it was a success! We have lots of Amtrak points so we thought that would be a good way to visit our newest baby friends in New York City. Apparently, 30th Street Station no longer has non-valet, on-site parking, but luckily we had left enough time to find a local lot near the station.
The train ride was a fun adventure! Jeremy sat on the seat the whole time and read books and admired the scenery. The only problem we had during the weekend was that we planned to walk 40 blocks uptown in order for him to nap, but he was so stimulated by the exciting walk through the city that he didn't nap at all! On the way back we took the subway, which was an adventure in itself.
I highly recommend the very family-friendly Milburn Hotel on 76th and Broadway. We had a suite (separate bedroom and living room) and a very mini kitchen (fridge, microwave, sink) for $199/night. This included a crib that rolled between the rooms (so we visited with friends while Jeremy slept in our bedroom and when the friends left we rolled him into the living room, sound asleep). It also included continental breakfast.
All in all, we had a great weekend and have a new way to travel!
Choo choo.... Great photo! Jeremy looks like he didn't want to miss a single thing! He is quite the traveler!!
