It finally stopped raining

Finally on the last day of our vacation it decided to stop raining and warm up. We took the opportunity to drive around looking for trees that were turning and ready to fall. We found a beautiful red tree with leaves falling in the middle of someone's yard but we had to stop and just hope they weren't home.



Look at the rich red color, and luckily no one came outside and tell us to leave their leaves alone.

We saw a few more beautiful trees, in another yard, but really the trees weren't ready to fall yet.


We left and had lunch and headed back to the house. We decided to check out the train station that was within walking distance from our house, neither I, Bobka, or Summer had been on a train and we really wanted to get on and see how exciting it was. We waited at the bus station for about 20 minutes and tried to figure out the times.


We reluctantly got on the trained and planned to get off at the next stop. We had to pay $16.00 for two round trip tickets and before the train attendant could even get us our change we were already at our stop so he suggested we go one more stop. We did and we were freaking out because we didn't think we were going to make it home in time, we didn't quite understand the times. It was pretty funny, we spent a total of about 10 minutes (at the most) on the train all together and didn't go very far at all. It would have been more enjoyable had we rode the train into Philadelphia, the train that goes 110 miles per hour, the train we heard every hour or so from the house, the one we saw out the window, but we ran out of time so we will have to take that train next time, in the mean time we did experience the thrill of riding a train and got pictures to prove it.


I will be honest, Summer wasn't very impressed with the train ride.
