When I was in 5th grade we took an Amtrak train from San Jose, CA to Seattle, WA to celebrate Thanksgiving with friends. It was an overnight experience and, besides my brother getting chicken pox, it was rad. When I lived in Seattle I would take the train down to Portland, a 3 hour ride and the same time as driving. The scenery you get from a train is bigger, rural, and more beautiful than most highways will offer, and that's why I want to do #18.
