Sam and the Train

Yesterday Sam came along with me on a train excursion around Atlanta. It had been a while since Sam and I had a chance to ride the train together. We got a chance to see a lot of things yesterday: trees were more colors than just green, all of the "tunnels" on the MARTA line, large escalators, and probably his favorite of the day: pigeons! He loved the pigeons downtown.

My favorite part of the day was the confidence in which Sam moved around. Whenever we came to the gates to get on the train, Sam would ask for the breeze card (the fare card). He would then proceed to run to the gate, ask which one, and then tap the card to open it and walk through all by himself (usually with Dad trying to catch up as to not get left outside the gate :) ). It was a lot of fun to watch him have so much joy and fun in getting around town yesterday.

The past few months have been amazingly crazy for both Katie and I and unfortunately these moments that I had gotten used to in the first two years of life with Sam have been all too infrequent the past 6 months. That is probably what made yesterday all the more sweeter.
