This past weekend spent it with my love in Chicago. I have never been to the windy city before. In a moments thought walking across railroad tracks downtown Royal Oak. I thought at that moment. I would love to take the Amtrak and hit the rails.
That night I asked my baby if she would like to go somewhere else new for the weekend and bounce back.
It was on. She said "yeahh!!"
I booked the tickets online. Picked them up the next afternoon. Packed a bag. And we were outta Detroit at 5:55pm May 14th.
Only took the Amtrak train from 4th street in Royal Oak to 8 mile 3 minutes and 56 seconds.
The ride was unique with seeing the neighborhoods from a different perspective and angle.
Places you have been to are like being there again on the train seeing it from the backside.
Past the State Fair Grounds, the Ferndale Police Impound, The train yard, Russel Projects and downtown Detroit.
Boom.. we we're on our way.
5 plus hours later we arrived in Chi Town like 11pm.
Got off the train.. hit Adams St. and started heading towards the water east.
It is great to goto new places. The different air, voices, laughter, traffic and sights.
Chicago was great.
