Sunday night we were driving home, and had to stop the car for a train crossing. It made quite an impression on Amelie, and she was talking about it for the next 2 days. When she found out that some trains carry people, she practically begged us to ride a train. So... Tuesday night (about 8pm) we drove up to the Mall of America and redeemed some free transit passes to ride the Lightrail to Minneapolis. Here's Amelie waiting for the train to leave the mall:
We rode the whole stretch, which isn't that far, up to downtown Minneapolis for some pizza at the Downtown Diner. The pizza's nothing to speak of, but the whole experience was totally worth it. Here we are just after pizza, the Diner in the background:
We all had so much fun on Amelie's first train ride. We plan to do it again soon, but during the day so we can actually see what's going on outside!
