Jump On The Railroad Train to The San Diego Area For A 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.  Many North American destination cities are easily accessible by train.  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.  In fact, a lot of the attractions can be enjoyed by walking.

 

San Diego is really loaded with interesting places to visit.  Visiting all of the beaches, museums, historical attractions and other amusements could truly take weeks.  There certainly would be no problem filling a busy week of vacation in this beach-oriented city.  The weather in the summer is particularly appealing, with a moderate sea breeze cooling things off.

Continuing your train travel up the West Coast past Los Angeles would be an option if you would like to plan an even more substantial trip.  It is easy to take the train from San Diego all the way to Union Station in downtown Los Angeles, with maybe ten stops in between.  This would make it possible to spend an easy week or two in Southern California without your 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.
