Amtrak Surfliner Trip to San Diego

This last weekend we traveled down to San Diego, instead of choosing to cram into a car and sit in traffic on I-5, we took Amtrak's Pacific Surfliner, it was fun, relaxing, and not too expensive (about $60 round trip per person). I would definitely do it again, we enjoyed some cheese and crackers that we brought along with us (mmmmm.... brie cheese) and bought some wine and beer from the cafe car to go with it. We picked the train up at Chatsworth station and it was a pretty 3 1/2 hour ride into San diego along the coast. I really like the train and I'm going to have to consider it for more of my trips, perhaps take it up north the next time I go.
