We tried out the new noon train to Raleigh this summer...it was super fun. The trip is about 3 hours, so it doesn't save time, but it was a great experience.

Charlie made friends with one of the passengers (surprise, surprise!) and even took a nap on her lap. Ironically, she knew Scott's mom when she lived in Raleigh.

Vail and Haven took the trip with us, they were giddy with excitement
