Why Train Travel is the Way to Go
Let's be honest, driving on the Beltway (or any highway, really) is about as appealing as a root canal without anesthesia. Traffic, road rage, and the constant fear of becoming a human bumper sticker are just a few of the joys of driving. But hopping on a train? Now, that's where the fun begins. You get to sit back, relax, and let someone else do the driving. You can enjoy the scenery, catch up on your favorite show, or even take a nap without worrying about swerving to avoid a distracted driver.
