Adventures by Light Rail

1/8/2016

1 Comment

 
Big Brother joined me on my journey to Rancho Cordova for a meeting. We took light rail to get there and I went back and forth about how we'd manage the first and last miles of the trip. We could have walked which would have taken an extra half hour on either side of the train time or we could bring our bikes but have to lug them up the steep steps for the light rail. We went with bikes.

We arrived at the station with plenty of time. Two trains were no shows because a driver had driven into the tracks in downtown and was stuck. Over 40 minutes later, we finally had a train.

With some juggling and help from people watching me try to manage both bikes and a kid up the steps, we were able to get onboard without too much trouble. I kept coaching BB about continuing to push the open door button so we didn't end up losing each other or a bike or two. People were really friendly about it and helped us on and off at each stop. I probably could have done it myself but I wouldn't have wanted to.

There was a big fight that broke out right as we got onboard on our way home. Luckily we were up the steps as the first punches were thrown at the foot of the same steps. That wasn't something I was happy about my kiddo seeing but he didn't seem very worried about it.

It was certainly an adventure but I'm glad to be back home.
