Arlington, VA - Ballston-MU Station

The underground stations on the Washington DC metro have these enormous ceilings and cavernous spaces.

The circular lights next to the tracks light up as a train approaches.

2018-03 Arlington, VA - Family Event

Holly and I took a trip to Arlington, VA for a family event from Boston, MA. We were originally supposed to fly out from Boston on Friday, 03/02/2018 in the evening after work but due to an incoming Nor'easter our flight got cancelled the night before. We therefore grabbed tickets for an early Amtrak Northeast Regional train from Boston to Washington DC. This did not work out well for us. The 7 hour 50 minute ride from Boston to DC took us around 12 hours to go from Boston South Station to New York Penn Station.
We were in an Amtrak Northeast Regional train in business class.
Our train stopped in New York Penn Station and did not continue. Amtrak was giving us no guarantees about departing the next day or what train we would be on.
