Since 2021, I have been taking the Link Light Rail train whenever possible. I love getting where I'm going without having to fight traffic, and especially glad not to have to find parking. Until last weekend, the closest station was a drive of about 20 minutes south of home.
Last weekend, the new extension of the rail opened, four stations going north, one of which is a less than 18 minute walk from home. Sweet Hubby and I decided to make a day of exploring the new stations. We drove to the farthest north terminal, found an absolutely wonderful breakfast restaurant, then got on the train and headed south.
We got off the train at every station so that we could see each layout, color palette (I love that there are 3 ways to us that word, each one spelled differently), and artwork. Each station is decorated differently, sometimes with bold, bright, obvious artworks, sometimes with more subtle works which must be looked for.
This day gave me the greatest feeling of joy, partly because I have looked forward to it for several years, and partly because I got to share it with SH. Now that I can walk to one of the stations, I will be able to leave the car at home almost every time I use the train, and will get some good steps in as well. Such a small thing to be so happy about, but happy I am in a most contented way.
