Jump On The Train to San Diego To Enjoy Your Next Leisurely Family Vacation
An Amtrak vacation is something you might consider for your next vacation, particularly if that is something you’ve never tried before. The national train network makes it possible to get around from most major cities. Given how beautiful and interesting our country is, the trip itself can be a big part of the total enjoyment.
San Diego is one of the best-known and most appreciated vacation targets in the country The train runs right into the middle of town, with easy local public transportation to get you to your hotel and most of the attractions. San Diego is spread out over a smaller geographical area than other parts of SoCal, notably Los Angeles. You can even get around to a lot of vacation attractions by walking if you enjoy that.
San Diego is really loaded with interesting places to visit. You could really spend weeks at all the museums, historical places of interest, beaches, theme parks and other attractions. So it is safe to assume that you can engage yourself in a week of both relaxation and activity in this harbor city. The weather in the summer is particularly appealing, with a moderate sea breeze cooling things off.
Perhaps you would like to make an even more ambitious train travel event, in which case you can take the train up the coast. AmTrak runs from the downtown San Diego station to downtown Los Angeles Union Station with a few stops in between. By doing any of the above, it would be reasonable to engage in a one- or two-week vacation without using a car.
Of course, traveling by train could add 3-4 days to the overall vacation schedule but that could be part of the charm if you have the right attitude.
