My 5 year old son and I are traveling by train from Burlington, VT to Washington DC today. This is his first trip by train and he is very excited! He will travel on to North Carolina with his Grandmother and cousin for a weeks vacation and I will be flying back to Burlington from Dulles after spending the day in my nation’s capital tomorrow. This will be his longest trip so far and the longest he has been away from home. Lots of firsts today!
