Today we left the big city and headed up to visit some relatives of mine near the Canadian border in upstate New York.

We decided to take the Empire Service train to Albany, which made the first part of the trip out of the city much easier and faster than driving. I got seats on the Hudson River side of the train, which made for some really fun views.

In Albany, we picked up a rental car for the remainder of the trip. It was very rainy this afternoon, so we didn’t stop for photos at all.
